TRAIL RIDING LESSONS

Trail Riding Lessons are a way for people to learn about horses and horsemanship
without having to learn in "just" a riding ring environment. You get the added
benefits of learning all the core skill riding basics that will carry over to any
discipline of riding.

Rates:

Private Trail Riding Instruction
  • 60.00 for 1- 2 hour  trail riding instruction  (total mounted ride time
    approximately 60 minutes)

Group Trail Riding Instruction

  • 40.00 for 1- 2 hour  trail riding instruction  (total mounted ride time
    approximately 60 minutes)  no more than 4 in a group

Each person will be taught how to groom and care for their mount before and after
the lesson. We teach adults as well as children from Beginning to Intermediate
riders. We stress personal goals when learning to ride and want everyone to have
a good time.


What to expect during your first lesson

When you arrive

  •      You will be introduced to your mount

  •      Shown how to halter and lead your mount

  •      Safely put him/her in the cross ties

  •     Correct grooming and cleaning of feet

  •     Learn how to correctly saddle and bridle your mount

  •     How to correctly mount your horse

  •     Fundamentals of steering and controlling your mount

  •     How to correctly balance and position your body in the saddle on uneven
    terrain

Please allow for at least 1 ½- 2 hours for the first few lessons. In the beginning it
takes time to learn these skills. Actual riding time will be 45-60 minutes  As you
become more efficient and quick at grooming and tacking, you will have more time
to ride during the lesson.  I have found that some students enjoy grooming and
being around horses as much as the actual ride so you are welcome to brush your
mount to your heart's content after the lesson.

                         ******* PLEASE NOTE  ********
