You are not responsible for filling group lesson spots. Group lessons may have 1-4 riders at the time. We try to keep group lesson to 2-3 horse/rider pairs, we cannot guarantee the number of horse/rider pairs in any group lesson.
**New client lesson availability is dependent on the weight of the rider, and ability of the rider. Riders are matched to horses based on the rider weight, rider ability and the horses already existing lesson schedule.**
Each horse has a weight limit, that includes the weight of the rider and the tack. Rider balance can also impact the weight limit for the horses.
Lessons are scheduled based on your availability, and horse availability.
Lessons run Monday-Friday. We are closed Sunday. Saturday is a makeup day due to weather issues during the week.
Lessons run weekly. We strongly encourage that you ride weekly or twice weekly. Once per month or maybe twice a month on random days does not usually fit into the schedule.
Weekly lessons are for ages 3rd grade and up. Student must have completed 2nd grade.
Bucket List Rides**
If you're looking for a "one time" bucket list ride the lesson fees do not apply, as this is not a lesson. Safety Forms still must be filled out and appropriate attire must be worn.
Bucket List Rides- will not take priority over regularly scheduled lessons. Bucket List Rides are 30 minute ride times and are $75. Bucket list Rides on Saturdays are $100. Reminder we are closed Sundays.
**Must be scheduled at least 24 hours in advance.**
Closed toed shoes and long pants is all you need!
We have horses you can use for lessons and helmets.
We recommend long term students to purchase their own helmet, riding tights and boots. Helmets must be ASTM/SEI Certified.
Troxel and Charles Owen are the helment brands we allow on property. Troxel is our suggestion and can be purchased at Tractor Supply and Amazon.
We recommend riding boots to protect your feet, my favorite brand is Ariat I have a pair of boots still from 2008!!
We recommend riding tights with full seat grips whether your ride english or western. The full seat grips help your stability and balance while riding.
We do not receive any compensation for "advertising". These are listed for your convenience and safety.
A certified riding vest is required for any type of jumping on property regardless of age or experience, not using one can result in immediate dismissal.
For Ages Kindergarten-2nd grade

We do offer a work to ride program. Rider is still responsible for $20/$50 of the 60 minute lesson fee. We have a limited number of spots for this program
So it would be $20 for a group lesson (even if you're the only one riding at that time, sometimes group lessons aren’t group) and private lessons are $50. It would be 60 minute ride time either way and 15 minutes before and after for grooming etc. plus about 30 minutes of chores. You would still be responsible for $20/50 of the lesson fee.
