Ranch Riding Lesson Program |
||||||
|
||||||
| We offer
riding lessons for those interested in showing or if
you just want to have fun!! It is also a great source of exercise! |
||||||
Lesson Program Basics Every student begins with private lessons. For a beginner, it will probably take about 10 privates before you are ready for the group. Every rider progresses at a different speed. Very young riders will need more privates before riding in a group; it is very rare for riders under the age of 6 to be safe in the group, so very young riders should plan to remain in private lessons. Even if you have ridden quite a bit before, we like to start with one private so that we can place you in an appropriate group for your level of expertise. |
||||||
What does it cost? We give lessons Tuesday through Sunday. Private lessons are $40. Group lessons are $30. We give lessons after school and into the early evenings. Please arrive ten minutes prior to your scheduled riding time to insure that you are ready to ride. Riders are welcome to stay for a few minutes after they ride if they want to help untack their horse. |
||||||
What should I wear? You must wear long pants and closed shoes to your lesson. Shorts, skirts, and capri pants are not acceptable. Sandals or open-toed (or open-heeled) shoes are not safe. Once you decide to continue riding for awhile, you will need riding pants (Kentucky jodhpurs) and a hard-soled ankle-high boot with a half-inch heel. We have a tack shop on the premises, so you may purchase these items here if you like. Please make sure you buy Kentucky jods (not breeches). You may be able to find an appropriate ankle-high boot at WalMart, Target or K Mart; it needs to be smooth-soled with a half-inch heel (no Vibram soles or hiking boots). |
||||||
Cancellation Policy: Please cancel your riding lesson at least 24 hours in advance. Lessons not cancelled 24 hours in advance are subject to a $25 cancellation fee, except in cases of bad weather or sudden illness. |
