Full Lease/Half Lease/Riding School Lessons

Leasing gives you the opportunity to experience what horse ownership is all about. Leasing your first horse is a good way to learn for several reasons. First, you can progress more quickly riding the same horse on a weekly basis, and as you progress and your ability improves, the same horse you felt comfortable on six months ago, might not be the right horse to challenge your new found skills. Also, a child that fits on a small pony now, might need a large pony or small horse in six months . Leasing allows you to change horses and try out different types of horses without having to go through the expense and emotion of the buying and selling process. Leasing also allows you to understand the commitment to horse ownership and a riding program. We recommend you lease before you buy. After a period of time, you will know if you or your child enjoy the show ring or riding the trails. Some students enjoy the show ring and go on to buy competitive show horses, while others just want the joy of owning and loving a horse. Either way, we want to help you find the right equine partner to fit your budget and needs.

Riding Lessons

Every beginning student must start out with riding lessons to make sure that they are interested and enjoy horse back riding. Most of all, we want to make sure it is a positive, safe learning experience. All students must wear long pants, a boot with a heel, and a safety approved helmet. If you do not own a safety approved helmet, we have a selection of sizes, but we recommend a pair of paddock boots and a correct fitted safety helmet be your first equine investment. Nothing is more important than your safety. If you own a safety helmet, please bring it to your lessons.

We will try to do our best to provide a suitable lesson horse for beginning lessons, however we cannot guarantee that we will always have a lesson horse or the time available that you are looking for. If after a few lessons, you are enjoying riding and want to continue to improve, we strongly encourage you to consider a lease on a horse. With a very limited amount of lesson horses and times, it is difficult to accommodate students needs without access to their own horse.
