Lesson Program

I methodically instills the basics in my students, building upon skills previously mastered. Lessons are generally 1 hour in length. Recreational riders usually take one lesson each week, and competitive riders will often choose to take lessons more often. The choice is yours! Payment is due at the start of each lesson or block of lessons.

All lessons are one hour in length. This time does not include tacking and un-tacking for more experienced riders. All lessons start at prescheduled lesson time, this means students are to be tacked and warmed up prior to the start of their lesson. If students are tacking up during their lessons then lesson length is being cut into. If extra help is needed, or if parents are unable to help their child tack up, then there will be an additional $5.oo charge for half an hour of tacking up and warm up supervision. All students must have filled out the release form PRIOR to mounting a horse or pony! If you are going to be late for a lesson, please let me know so I do not think you are not coming. If something comes up and you cannot attend on the day of your lesson please let me know and I will be happy to reschedule to another time.

*Prices DO NOT include the use of a school horse; please add on $5.00 per lesson/hour ($25.00 for 5 lessons, and $50.00 for 10 lessons). Blocks of five or ten MUST be used up within one year!

Stable Management lessons are also available for new horse owners, Pony Club preparation or for those who just want to learn more about taking care of your horse.
