Lesson Program

Sweetwater Ranch offers training for the horse And Rider. Students may learn on our wonderful lesson horses, or bring their own horse.  Our lesson horses range in from calm quiet beginner horses, like Sadie to advanced dressage horses - Spritz, a 4th level horse, and hunters capable of 3 foot courses - Cy.  Our students even compete at shows on our school horses, and frequently win.
