We start lessons with childen once they reach the age of 5.
A normal lesson
is one hour which includes grooming, tacking, the lesson, and untacking.
An hour group lesson
is $25.00, private lessons currently not available.
We have an outside riding arena, a jumping
area, a round pen, and an indoor for year round riding.
We have trails that wind around our 65
acres plus access to lands near by with trails.
Our lessons are always educational, but not always
mounted. Students learn natural horsemanship, message, long linging, they play with foals and yearlings, etc. so they are working
with horses on the ground as well.
We encourage our riders to also help around the farm with cleaning
stalls, feeding hay or grain, sweeping, etc. before or after their lessons.
We teach a balanced
seat and allow them to experience this in western and english saddles as well as bareback.
We
play rodeo games and balance games and relay races for fun to mix it up once and a while.
We take
trail rides for fun and also to work on certain skills out on a trail.
We learn about a
variety of disciplines, various training techniques, and each horses strengths and weaknesses.
We
have our own eduational show every year as well as attending local schooling shows, dressage shows, and hunter shows. We may
be offering our own schooling show series this summer.
We are raising a foal and a yearling and
have helped with every aspect of their training.
We take trips, we have guest speakers,
we allow the older students the chance to teach and be great role models.
Our goal is to
become well educated, well rounded riders who enjoy our time with our horses.
