This is wonderful for those children who want some experiences with horses, but who are too young and have not developed the motor skills to ride a horse quite yet.

If you do not own a horse please click here to contact us about take riding lessons at our stable. We accommodate ages 5-6 years for ground lessons; and ages 7 years and up for riding lessons. We encourage all skill levels and riding disciplines to enjoy our facility.

If you have a horse at home and are looking to sharpen your riding skills, you may trailer in your horse and take an individual riding lesson with the instructor. (Day fees apply)
