HORIZONS EQUINE LESSONS
ALL AGES + ABILITIES
Participants can expect to be required to groom, tack, ride and take care of their horse during their 1 hour lesson. Brand new riders will be taught step by step how to maintain confidence out of the saddle, before stepping into it. Advanced riders will accumulate more ride time, as they progress through the beginning steps of a lesson of grooming and tracking.

Riding lessons will be offered in 3-week blocks - 1 hour session per week. Participants can sign up for multiple 3-week blocks if they'd like. We will do our best to accommodate your preference of private, semi-private, or group.
