I like to walk around without stirrups to give my own hips and legs a good stretch as well!

Lessons & Training Rides

$85 a ride/lesson for 45-minutes to an hour

  • Training Rides - is preferable that horses are groomed, tacked, and walking, so that we can make the most of the training ride time

  • Lessons - students should be tacked, ready, have been walking for a minimum of 10-20 minutes before lesson begins

    • Did you know that before every ride you should be not just walk your horse, but ‘march’ your horse for at least 10-20 minutes - this simple walk routine before every ride prolongs your horse’s riding career by ‘greasing the joints’ and allowing time for the joints to get the synovial fluid flowing before you ever even pick-up the reins!
