Our Philosophy is to teach every rider to his/ her best ability and desire. We customize a training curriculum toward your needs. From proficient horsemanship for trail, pleasure riding to the competitive show ring we can make you a better rider.
In order to maintain consistent progress, we encourage students to ride in at least one lesson per week, usually scheduled on the same day and time each week. Our large indoor arena allows lessons to continue year round regardless of the weather. It is located in the main barn and is easily viewed from our heated observation room.
