Who needs lessons?
Everyone.
We offer lessons for beginners, pony club level, trail riders, etc. We also do horsemanship and ground control lessons, float loading, catching, etc. There is always room for improvement and you will be amazed how such small things can make such a big difference. Talk to us about your needs and we can help you achieve your goals.
Our private lessons are $70.00 per hour. Discounts are available for group lessons, and parents with two or more children having lessons. We also offer camps and clinics throughout the year on an on demand basis, and we may even be able to come to you!
Why do we need lessons?
Some people are still working on their balance, others need slightly better technique, timing and feel. The better we ride, the less we interfere with the horse, the better the horse will perform for us. Good balance, feel and timing is critical for good performance but also for emergency situations. We can't contol the environment around us, so we will show you how to best prepare for the unexpected, and deal with it when it happens. This will make you better prepared, confident, in control and having FUN with your horse, how it should be.
How often should we have lessons?
This is very much dependant on the horse and rider. We recommend once a week or once a fortnight to start with, and then sometimes a monthly catch up is enough. It is possible to 'overtrain' both horse and rider so we encourage plenty of 'free' riding in between, with trail riding, fun and games, jumping, novelty events and anything else to keep both horse and rider minds fresh and willing. This also gives you a chance to practice what we have worked on in the lesson!
