Frequently Asked Questions

Is my child ready to ride?
We recommend that a student be at least nine years of age before starting independent riding lessons - these are lessons where the rider is in complete control of the horse. Children under the age of nine often lack adequate large muscle skills, dexterity, and strength needed to control an animal as large as a horse. View more details >> (PDF)

What should I wear to my riding lesson?
We require that you wear long pants or jeans, boots that completely enclose the foot, fitted shirts, and an equestrian safety helmet (provided) while riding. Long hair should be restrained. View more details >> (PDF)

Do I have to own my own horse to take lessons?
No, you do not have to own your own horse to take lessons. We provide safe mounts for student's of all sizes. If you own your own horse, we allow for horses to be trailered in for lessons.

What should I expect from a riding lesson?
Each lesson begins with a short “warm-up” period to prepare the muscles of both horse and rider for the work. Each session has both a review of previous lesson material and practicing of new skills. View more details >> (PDF)
