We're proud to offer beginning riding lessons this season.
We're focusing our program for those with little or no previous horse experience. We'll be accepting riders from 10 years
old through adults.
These will will be private, one on one lessons. We
feel we can better teach each rider individually so they gain as much as possible from each ride. We invite parents to participate
with their children. We offer a special reduced rate for parent/child sessions.
Give us a call or send an email to stop out to take a look around, meet our horses and
see what it's all about.

Timid or bold, we'll work with each student at a pace best suited for
their safety and ability.
