Riding Instruction

In this program, students will learn some  of the basic fundamentals of horsemanship and equitation with expert,  one-on-one instruction under Miss Marka. The riding program is  structured to accommodate very beginner riders of all ages (adult  lessons are also available) all the way through the intermediate level,  and will enhance the development of muscle, balance, rhythm, and  confidence via the correct use of riding aids. Horseback (or equitation)  lessons are perfect for anyone who is crazy over horses or those who  are just ready for new and more challenging activities. Lessons begin as  private, one-on-one, 45- minute long sessions, and are certain to boost  athletic ability, confidence and equine knowledge. Semi-private lessons are available to more advanced riders. *Due to the smaller size of our horses, riders cannot weigh more than 170 lbs.  Classes will meet once a week for a minimum of four weeks. Availability for classes is on a first come first serve basis. Payment is due in full prior to the start of each session. The  goal of our lesson program is to facilitate effective communication  between horse and rider, turning out confident and balanced riders while  increasing equine knowledge and awareness.
 

 Miss Marka has over 25 years experience owning and training horses. She has more than 20 years experience teaching riders of all ages from beginner to intermediate levels. As  a USPC H-A graduate and long-time horse owner, Miss Marka has  considerable experience in horsemanship, stable management, equine  health and wellness, and competition in dressage, endurance,  hunter/jumper and combined training. 

Rest assured, all students (young or old) will be learning on a  well-disciplined and highly trained animal. The equine instructors have  been carefully selected for this unique program based on their  outstanding temperament, willingness to please, and quiet, gentle  natures. They have the perfect dispositions for new and inexperienced  riders and will be under the instructor's control during each riding  session. Each horse is sure to become a favorite among their many  adoring fans!
