STUDENT AGES
We teach riders age 8 through 80.
HOW MANY TIMES A MONTH DO I RIDE AND HOW LONG ARE THE CLASSES?
Our group lessons are taught in a group format, once a week, at the same time and on the same horse, so for instance you would ride at 8:00am Monday nights on “Diva”. Ten minutes of your hour-long class time is dedicated to tack (equipment) changes and ride time should be about 45 minutes. Western Riding Lessons, Bareback and Halter are scheduled Monday, Wednesday and Friday 8am to 11am.
