Lessons

We provide instruction in a positive and rewarding environment.  Proper techniques are essential to rider success, creating a solid base to build the riders foundation (or fixing missed steps)  is key to our program. The horses health and welfare are never compromised.  We strive to produce horsemen not just riders! Riders of all levels are welcomed into our program; all we ask is that you are open to learning and want to work hard at becoming the best possible rider you can be.

  We have wonderful school horses and ponies of various levels and abilities for you to start or you are more than welcome to bring your own! We offer showing opportunities for all levels at various events throughout the year. We have two Sr. Instructors and two assistants, we will never have a Jr teaching the lesson it is only our Sr coaches that handle the lessons. 

**We require all riders to be in min once a week lesson, we do not offer trail rides or pony rides for parties. All riders wanting to enter the program must do a meet and greet along with a trial lesson before being accepted. We do not teach Sundays unless it is a horseshow, special event or arranged makeups**

Training & Consignment

       We can help assist you and your horse to grow and develop to your full potential! Our program is tailored to each individual horse, as we know horses much like humans are not all the same and do not fit into the same box. Full time training (5-6 days a week) is great for owners serious about their horses education. Owners see consistent results and horses are happy to be worked with on a regular basis. Jumping average 2 days a week, ground manners, pole work, flat work, trails, and off property events (extra cost may apply) is all part of the program to give the horse a well rounded education.

For our owners with a hectic life that aren't always able to get out to the barn we find the part time program (1-3 days a week) works wonders to keep both horse and rider sane and happy. The part time program is flexible for each horse and owner. Also nice for young horses that are not needing a full program yet. 

                                                  We Manage all aspects of  your horses care when they are in a full program or on consignment, including                                  but not limited to clipping, show entries, and appointments.
