Introduction to Horses | Level 1
This course works with a rotating curriculum that teaches safety, groundwork, horse behavior, horse care, tack/equipment identification and an introduction to riding. Students ages 7 and up are welcome! Adults too!
Introduction to Riding | Level 2
This course moves more into riding and the class size is limited to 4-6 depending on how many horses/staff we have available that day. This class is designed to reiterate the content learned in Level 1 and helps get riders get ready for Level 3. Correct position and steering will be the top priority as well as getting the horses groomed and tacked efficiently. This is also the class we encourage our beginner Charter School students to join.
Payment required up front. NO REFUNDS OR MAKE-UPS IF YOU DON’T COMPLETE EITHER COURSE. Ages 7 & up. Check our Book Lesson page for current pricing.
* Depending on class size, Level 1 and Level 2 classes may be combined at the discretion of the instructor.
The semi-private membership is a group riding class of approximately 4 students (unless weather or other factors arise). Students should have the ability to groom, tack and ride confidently in a group at the walk and trot. Classes vary and each rider’s ability is considered. We reiterate the correct position/proper equitation, learn basic patterns, learn to canter, and each rider progresses at their own rate. These classes can sometimes also be groundwork/horsemanship – all lessons are designed to teach all aspects of horsemanship and help each student to develop a solid foundation.
With our monthly membership, each rider should be riding 1X or 2X per week – preferably the same day/time per month as dictated by the Terms & Conditions.
Check our Book Lesson page for current pricing. Payment will be required through a reoccurring credit card payment each month – please get familiar with our online booking program.
* If you are unable to meet at your already scheduled class – with 24-hour notice – you are allowed to use our system to find another class within that month that has availability. If we do not have any space, your student can “intern” at any of our Level 1 or 2 classes in exchange for their missed class. (Much knowledge is learned by learning to pay it forward).
Due to time constraints and many other factors, we have VERY LIMITED AVAILABILITY for private lessons.
Please reach out to us to inquire and check our Book Lesson page for current pricing.

Breaks
We do incorporate breaks in our schedule to allow our horses and instructors to take a break from the long hard days this life of horses requires of us. Please get familiar with our scheduling system, as you should get reminders prior to each class. We do also have a show team and sometimes travel in the winter/spring/early fall for horse shows.
Cancellations
Need to miss a lesson? We understand that life happens, however, we run a tight program and don’t have the ability to make up classes in all instances. If you are in one of the 4 or 8-week courses – we DO NOT offer make-ups and there are NO REFUNDS. On a case-by-case basis, we may be able to allow 1 drop in into the next course that is being offered. If you are a SEMI-PRIVATE rider – you can use our system to reschedule your lessons as long as there is availability in that same month to do so, if there is not, we cannot create availability for you. Semi–Private riders who need to miss their lesson can also come and “intern” during our Level 1 or Level 2 classes as well. It is easiest that you stick to the same day/time that we have agreed upon. If you need to reschedule and are unsure about how and when, please message Tracy so she can help you with this.
IF WE CANCEL YOUR LESSON FOR ANY REASON – WE WILL COME UP WITH ANOTHER DATE TO HOST THE MISSED LESSON. (This typically happens if it’s pouring rain or we are having an emergency). If it’s raining lightly we will most likely have an indoor class and focus on horse care/other unmounted skills for your lesson.
If you have any questions or requests, please reach out!
