Recreational/Standard Lessons

🐴 Horsemanship Lessons for the Public
Learn. Grow. Ride.
Are you or your child passionate about horses and eager to learn the art of horsemanship and riding? Our public lesson program is designed for individuals ages 6 and up who want to build skills, confidence, and a deeper connection with horses.
⚠️ Please Note: Availability is currently limited. Call us to check for open spots.

🧭 Which Program Is Right for You?
If you're seeking a structured, skill-based riding experience, our Horsemanship Lessons are likely the best fit. However, if the rider has specific needs related to self-esteem, anxiety, learning differences, attention span, or a medical diagnosis, we recommend our Therapeutic/Adaptive Riding Program to ensure the most supportive environment.
Not sure which to choose? Submit your application and we’ll help guide you during a follow-up phone consultation.
| ✅ The application is the same for both programs.

⚖️ Rider Safety & Weight Policy
To ensure the safety of our riders and the well-being of our horses, we maintain a 160 lb. weight limit for mounted activities. This may vary depending on the level of support required. Riders may be asked to weigh in during programming. Please provide accurate weight on your application.
