Beginner riders can expect to learn basic horsemanship: handling horses, grooming, tacking/untacking, elementary control, mounting/dismounting, walk, trot,canter, turning, and halting. There is also introduction to ground poles, cavaletti and jumps to 18” depending on the progress of the individual.  Riders will also participate in discussion of theory appropriate for this level.

Intermediate level riders will continue furthering their education in theory and technique so that they can comfortably ride a horse around a basic course of jumps with ease.  

Advanced classes continue developing the skills of the riders in applicable theory to enhance the horses performance over a course of jumps, while gaining a full understanding of their horse's idiosyncrasies.
