LEARN

Learn to ride.

Riding lessons for all ages and every level of skill, year round. Private or in a small group, on a working farm rather than a lesson yard.

What a lesson includes

You do not just show up and get on. Kim chooses the horse, and the lesson covers grooming, saddling up, safe leading and riding, then untacking and taking care of the horse afterward. Learning to care for the horse is part of learning to ride it.

Lessons run year round, in an outdoor ring in summer and the indoor arena through the winter, for beginners through advanced riders.

Helmets are required. Long pants and shoes with a heel.

GET STARTED

Book a lesson

Tell us who's riding and how much they've done, and we'll match them to a horse and a time.

Name and age, if it's for a child.

Days and rough times.

Nerves, previous falls, or anything that would help us pick the right horse.

Helmets are required and available to borrow. Long pants and shoes with a heel.

Come and meet the horses.

An introductory hour is the easiest way in: grooming, tacking up, riding, and putting your horse away afterward.
