INTERMEDIATE LESSONS

NOW ACCEPTING NEW STUDENTS

 

We offer comprehensive hunter/jumper riding lessons open to students who are able to groom, tack up and ride independently and want to further advance their riding skills with exceptional and highly skilled coaches.  Developed specifically to build confidence in riders wanting to dedicate more time and energy to the sport, our general lesson program refines riding techniques and equitation skills on the flat and with jumping.   Students will set individual goals to help them reach their full riding potential. 

If you are new to our barn and want to join our general lesson program, an evaluation is required.  The coach will place you in the appropriate lesson group based on riding level after the evaluation.   

School horses are limited to jumping no higher than 2 feet. 

Half lease and full lease options are available in barn for those students looking to progress jumping above 2 feet. Boarder lesson rates apply when half leasing or full leasing a pony or horse.
