Horsemanship info

What is horsemanship?

As a training facility, we feel that a holistic approach to our program creates a more confident and stronger rider. Our seasonal Horsemanship classes incorporate more elements of horse training and care than traditional lessons. You will learn how to work with horses on the ground as well as in the saddle. If you are looking for the whole package experience, this is the program for you. 

Horsemanship classes are split into three different categories: Adult, Youth, and Tiny Tots. Our Adult and Youth Classes are 1.5 hours in length and our Tiny Tots is 1 hour. We assign up to four instructors for the Adult and Youth classes and one instructor to each student for our Tiny Tots.  These classes provide a safe environment to learn (or re-learn) how to groom, tack, and ride in a relaxed setting. Multiple instructors enable us to work with different skill levels at the same time.

Additional Conditions

If you cannot make it to a lesson there will NOT be makeups available.  On occasion, we do need to cancel a lesson due to weather (snowstorms, tornado warnings, excessive heat, etc.) or horse availability.  If we have more than two cancellations due to these extenuating circumstances, we will schedule a make-up lesson for the whole group.  Each session must have at least four students enrolled for us to hold the class. However, this has not been a problem in the past, as our classes tend to fill up fast. Those enrolled in a class that does not reach the minimum enrollment will be allowed to transfer into another session. We offer a $50 discount on Horsemanship for riders that will be using their own horse or a horse for which they currently have a yearly lease!
