WEATHER ALERT:  Saturday September 3 and Sunday September 4 cancelled due to rain.

Cassandra believes that learning to ride involves more than just getting on the horse.  Students will learn horse anatomy, health care, horse behavior, and how to safely work with horses.  Students get weekly homework assignments, which can vary from learning the parts of the saddle to body language (or what is that horse trying to say to me???).

Ages

There is no minimum or maximum age limit. 

Styles

We offer lessons in: Western Pleasure,  English Pleasure, and Dressage.  

Rates

The following rates apply:

Individual lesson ages 9 and up:   $30 per session*

Individual lesson ages 8 and under:  $20 per session**

Group lessons:  $20 per session

*The first three lessons will be approximately 1 1/2 hours long while the student learns to catch, groom, and tack the horse. 

 **These lessons will be approximately 30 to 45 minutes until the student develops confidence and an independant seat.

Equipment:

All students will wear shoes, preferably leather boots, with at least a half-inch heel and an ASTM/SEI certified equestrian safety helmet.  Bicycle helmets are not approved for equestrian activities.  Students should also bring insect repellent, water or other hydrating beverage, and a notebook.  Breeches are highly recommended as jeans have a thick inside seam that can cause chafing.  Videos and pictures of lessons are encouraged.
