Beginner Intermediate Advanced Lesson Info

Beginner Lessons  (Must be at least 6 years of age)

bullet

Lessons are individualized and private with an emphasis on safety.

bullet

Lessons not only help the student to increase in their knowledge of handling the horse/pony, and safety is heavily emphasized.

bullet

Lessons will cover proper grooming of the horse/pony and its purpose.

bullet

Tacking up (putting saddle and bridle on the horse/pony) will be supervised until the student is independent.

bullet

Directing horse/pony with the use of legs, seat and hands is taught in every lesson until the student can use these aides independently.

*Why an individual private lesson?  Horses are herd animals, when in a group they will follow one another.  Similar to a trail ride, one horse follows another.  You are not directing the horse; the horse is only doing what the one in front of it is doing.  Therefore, an individualized lesson allows the instructor to gauge the progress of the student.  This is the safest way to teach beginner riders.
