For Your Lesson:

Arrive 5-10 mins prior to your scheduled lesson time to ensure readiness and obtain a helmet.

At lesson time either your instructor or a lesson assistant will greet you and introduce your assigned lesson horse. The first 15 minutes of your lesson is for grooming and tacking up, the assistant will help and educate throughout this time. The remaining lesson time is for riding and untacking at the end.


Helmets are available for use and required for all riders 18yrs and younger.


Boot/shoe with a little heel is needed for safety to keep foot from sliding through stirrups. We have a variety of boots that may fill a need while your rider finds their own.


Group lessons are for 2-3 students and available according to grade level for that lesson time.

 Each class lasts 2 hours and is both classroom and hands on with horses. Open for all ages and levels.
 While riding is not part of the class, please dress accordingly to work with horses.

Lesson Assistants
  • Greet students, assist with helmet selection/fit, educate and assist with grooming and tacking up for the lesson. Catch horses not in stalls and gather the tack fitted for that horse. Other tasks may include cleaning tack, giving hay, sweeping, etc.

  • Phones go in basket when assistant picks up walkie-talkie and digital watch.

  • Lesson Assistants attend all 4 of the Horsemanship Classes and pass a skills test with one of our instructors. If they need a little more experience they can be designated an "intern to the assistant". These are both paid positions.
