Beginner riders are started in private lessons on the lunge line. After mastering simple control over their horse, riders move into small group lessons.

Emphasis in our school program is placed on good basic riding skills with an eye to safety and enjoyment. When a rider is comfortable with their mount, there are many fun activities scheduled at the farm for them to join.
