Lessons

  • Lessons are $45 each, bookable on a monthly basis so:

                   - 1 lesson per week or 4 one hour lessons is $180/month

                   - 2 lessons per week or 8 lessons per month is $360/month

  • You can book as many lessons per week as you like.

  • After your free intro session we will work with you to find a spot that will work for you.

  • If you can not make your scheduled lesson and give us 2 hours notice you will be able to book a makeup lesson on a day and time that does work for you.

  • You will need boots with a heel to ride, and everyone under 18 must wear a helmet. If you are over 18 it is your choice to wear a helmet or not but we do recommend it.

FAQ's

What should I wear to lessons? 

  • You should dress so you are comfortable and dressed for the weather. We suggest layers so that you can adjust as you warm up while riding. You must wear long pants and boots with a heel. If you wear gloves make sure they fit you well enough to grip your reins.

What if I’ve never ridden before?

  • We would love to be the ones to help you with your first experience with horses! We have some of the most amazing lesson horses who are kind and quiet. Roy is an amazing teacher, who not only has made our lesson horses the way they are but he is great at helping you build confidence around horses. If you are nervous let us know and we will make sure you have a great experience!

Are lessons refundable?

  • Lessons are billed on a monthly basis for the reservation of your lesson spot. Lessons are non-refundable but if you can not make a lesson just give us 2 hours notice and we will add a makeup lesson credit to your account that you can book for a time that works for you. We understand life happens and are very flexible so the occasional last minute notification will still get you a makeup lesson credit as long as it does not become a habit.
