Lesson Philosophies
1) Striving to create safety conscious and effective equestrians with strong leadership and communication skills.
2) Treating each equestrian as an individual by customizing a program to their unique needs, goals, and desires.
3) Starting from the humble beginning of basics regardless of age, discipline, or experience level.
4) Emphasizing horsemanship skills built off a foundation of respect, kindness, love, and an understanding of the animal both in and out of the saddle.
5) Building the next generation of compassionate equestrians that never hesitate to put the animal first.
Each rider's journey is started by forming a strong foundation based off of body mechanics and horsemanship prior to selecting a discipline. This creates safer, effective, confident, and quiet riders which translates into better communication with their equine partners. As a rider progresses, the basics are regularly checked using tools such as dressage tests, no stirrup work, discipline changes, or switching equines.
We also welcome students that wish to remain completely unmounted into our program by offering horsemanship lessons. These comprehensive lessons focus on essential skills such as safe handling, lunging, ground driving, trick training, bathing, tack selection/maintenance, and other critical stable management topics.
Regardless of each student's skill level or discipline, horsemanship skills are the heart of our program. Good horsemanship is an equestrian that is able to achieve maximum effectiveness with minimum effort. We seek to build a reliable and trusting relationship based off correct timing and feel so we learn how to bring out the best in each equine.

All lessons are sold as a monthly package billed on the first of the month and must be paid by the first lesson of each month. Our lesson program requires at a minimum, a weekly commitment on the same day and time each week. Make up lessons are granted if 24 hours of notice is given and must be used within 30 days of the cancelation. If less than 24 hours notice to given for a cancelation or the student arrives 15 minutes late without communicating with the trainer, the lesson is forfeited. However, we do allow (1) emergency event per student every 6 months.
If a student has communicated with the trainer but is running 15 minutes late, the lesson is not able to run 15 minutes past the hour.
Lessons run rain or shine as we have an indoor and outdoor arena. We require 30 days notice via email to end enrollment in our program. If for any reason we need to cancel lessons (ex. inclement weather) the lesson will be refunded.
Considering where to begin or continue riding lessons is an important decision. We're an advocate for facilitating farm tours prior to the first lesson, especially to acclimatize younger students. If you're interested in a farm tour, please reach out via the information on the CONTACT page above.
