RIDING LESSON PROGRAM FULL CURRENTLY We are Wait-listing for 2022
Exception: If you can ride before 3pm weekdays, we can fit you in NOW
​
​2022 RIDING LESSON RATES (NEW CLIENTS ONLY)

• $60/hour private or semi-private lesson. Prepay nonrefundable discount monthly $220. (For total four a month).
• We offer lessons to kids & adults. (No large group lessons - we put safety first & group lessons for beginners is not our model of safety first with horses.)

BENEFITS: Our lessons are low-key and are mostly private to semi-private for the price most farms charge for group lessons. This means that you get more individualized and customized attention from your instructors, AND you get to ride in a quiet, low-key, and safe arena environment where you will be able to maintain focus needed for optimum learning in a relaxed setting. You will NOT be riding in an arena with many other riders and lessons happening at the same time, making it hard to concentrate and focus.
