Philosophy
Our philosophy is to develop our students horsemanship as well as their
riding skills. We help each one of them become good equestrians. Confidence and safety are the first things taught.
Program
-
Ages 7 and up -
Lesson begins with grooming and tacking
up and ends with untacking , horse care and tack cleaning.
-
Half hour or one hour lessons
-
Intermediate level students
Learn and fine tune proper use of aids (legs, seat, hands, upper
body etc...). Once these goals are achieved, the student will
then be taught basic dressage and jumping techniques
with respect to students desires and capabilities. At this level we
mainly focus on building confidence.
-
Advanced level students
Learn advanced dressage and jumping techniques and work on becoming a complete riders and competitors. At this level we build winning confidence. Students are regularly taken to shows of all levels. Safety is a "BIG" thing in our barn. When it comes to building a solid foundation we simply do not cut corners. Anything you may skip at early level of
YOUR riding career will come around later on, as a weakness
or a problem. We take all the necessary time to strengthen your base.
