Riding Lessons

At Havendell Farm, group and private riding lessons are offered in both Western and Hunt Seat styles of riding. With no more than four students per scheduled session, riding skills are taught with a combined emphasis of safety and fun.

Besides the benefit of fresh air and exercise, riding lessons give the student the opportunity to develop in areas such as:

Responsibility Compassion Confidence Self-control
