Frequently asked questions
Do I need prior experience to start lessons?
No! Experience is not a necessity. We offer lessons for beginners through advanced riders. All lessons will be tailored to your skill level and goals-whether you're riding for fun or looking to compete!
What age do you start riding lessons?
We welcome riders starting at age 4 and up. Our lessons are designed to be safe, supportive and age-appropriate, regardless if you're riding for the first time or working toward specific goals.
What should I wear for riding lessons?
We recommend long pants (like jeans or riding breeches) and a shoe with a closed toe. (Boots are always the best bet!) Helmets are required for all riders. If you don't have a helmet - no stress! We have loaner helmets available at the stable.
What is included in your pasture boarding?
Our pasture boarding includes 24/7 turnout in a well maintained pasture. Your horse will have access to shelter, fresh water, 24/7 hay available, and feeding daily. We prioritize the safety and well-being of every horse in our care.
