LESSONS

Lessons will resume Tuesday March 7th.

You will come back riding in the time slot you were in before break unless your schedule has changed. At that point, please message Krissy to see if there are any other options for you to move into that might fit your schedule, our schedule, and your skill level.

 

2023 Lesson Rates:

• ​1 hour group $60

• ½ Hour Group (littles only) $45

 

For the students that started in 2022 you most likely came in at these prices. For our legacy students, we know this is frustrating and appreciate you being loyal customers and seeing the value in our program during these inflationary times. This change equates to roughly a $300/yr increase overall for the average student. This is NOT something we enjoy doing but with costs up 20-30% on everything farm and horse related in the past year alone, we have waited as long as we could to re-adjust prices and we just can’t afford to continue to shoulder the costs alone. We feel as though things have stabilized to a point that we feel confident we should not have to re-adjust anytime soon and we have kept our pricing on clinics and shows the same as last year. We hope you understand this and we hope you know we do appreciate your business immensely and do our best to continue to provide an environment that you feel safe and enjoy learning in. Many of you and your families have become friends over the years and we feel very blessed to have you all in our program.

This Ground work series will focus on partnership, leadership, trust, and respect. The Purpose of this is to help deepen your relationship from the ground leading to growing your relationship in the saddle. This is very rewarding, fun, and also a critical horsemanship quality.

Timed Trail

• Adults (20 & older) – Saturday April 22nd 5 – 8 PM $175

• Teens & Juniors (10 to 19) – Sunday April 23rd 9 AM – Noon $175

 

Yes, we are bringing this back. We saw so much growth & had so much fun last year that we felt it was beneficial to the community to do this again! BUT don’t worry – it’s going to be a totally new pattern with different obstacles and challenges designed to grow the student’s riding abilities. So even if you have done this workshop last year – IT WON’T BE THE SAME :)

For those new to this – This is an obstacle course you must complete on horseback designed to challenge the riders in speed, balance, control, and horsemanship – Fastest time with penalties wins in each skill matched class! This is a lot of fun and a great learning opportunity. Each obstacle push the rider and their horse emotionally and physically in a safe and fun way. We do set obstacle difficulty to skill levels. So, each level of rider will have the right amount of challenge.

 

 

Tag Team Trail

All New Pattern This Year
 

• Littles (9 Years & Under) – Thursday May 18th 5 – 6:30 PM $100

• Teens & Juniors (10 to 19) – Sunday May 21st 9 AM – Noon $175

 

At this point, all the new obstacles should be familiar and we are going to put another spin to the course. You will learn a whole route to the pattern but with a partner. This will be a timed event with rules.  It’s a blast and teaches teamwork, communication, and trust. It was a big hit last year and a great growth module for horses and riders.
