HORSEMANSHIP (NON-RIDING) LESSONS The horsemanship lessons start at each rider's level of experience and comfort. Lessons consist of grooming, caring for the horse, and working with the horse “on the ground”, (lunging/ground manners/round pen work) Horsemanship helps to improve the communication of the horse and human along with building confidence and connection. Horsemanship lessons are also great to take in addition to riding lessons. You will have the opportunity to work with the “up-and-coming" horses. The “up-and-coming” horses are sweet, well behaved horses; they are just not quite ready to pack beginner riders around while being ridden. Age recommendation 10 years and older. Some exceptions may apply. Lessons are approximately 50 minutes. BEGINNER LESSONS COMPLETE TRAINING FOR BEGINNER RIDERS For riders of all ages! Lessons will focus on learning the basics on the ground and in the saddle. Starting with a solid foundation helps avoid issues down the road, it's always faster to do something right the first time rather than having to retrain old habits. Lessons include horsemanship on the ground and in the saddle, starting at each rider's level whether that be from the very beginning on the lead line, walking, trotting, while working on the horse and riders connection, balance, strength, and stretching. Lessons can be either in an English or Western saddle. Lessons are approximately 50 minutes.
