LEssons
Become part of a fun and relaxed lesson program (for children AND adults) geared towards building a partnership with our equine companions while riding correctly and safely. Our lesson program leans towards non-competitive but we do participate in local shows and can provide more serious instruction for those interested in serious competition, IEA, and 4H. Our English instruction includes up to second level dressage, and beginner/intermediate hunter/jumper. Pleasure and equitation are taught to all riders but can be the primary focus if the rider does not wish to jump or participate in dressage. Western instruction includes equitation and gaming.
Prices are as follows:
1 Hour Private - $60
1/2 Hour Private - $40
Family Rate - $50 per member
To schedule, please contact the farm via phone.
*Rider weight limit: 180lbs*
*We are not a show facility! If you are seeking a strict showing regimen, this is not the best program fit.*

Becca W., our primary instructor, is a recent college graduate from Penn State University (December 2018) and has been teaching at our facility for the past 8 years. She has been horseback riding since 1999 and has been instructed up to Second Level Dressage, with additional experience in western gaming, hunter/jump, and general English and Western equitation. She is certified through the American Riding Instructors' Association, and as such, adheres to all standards of the program.
When teaching, Becca focuses primarily on riding in a style that promotes body and energy awareness of both the horse and rider, as she believes that a lasting and successful partnership is built upon understanding the mechanics of riding and respect for our partner. To help her students progress, Becca frequently studies horsemanship techniques and attends clinics in order to learn new methods and exercises. She is mainly non-competitive, as is her program, but adjustments can be made for students interested in more serious competition. |

Kathy R., does not often instruct but usually can be found teaching or lending a helping hand to all riders. She has grown up and worked with horses all of her life and though she once competed frequently, she now prefers to work with her racehorses and the rescues at the barn. Kathy has primarily ridden English throughout her life, but her knowledge is applicable to any sport within the equestrian realm. When she is not helping riders, Kathy is managing the barn and making sure everything is running smoothly.
