Youth Riders Program
Our Youth Riders Program is the perfect introduction to horseback riding for children ages 6-12. With a strong focus on safety and foundational riding techniques, young riders learn essential skills such as balance, posture, and rein control in a fun and supportive environment. We emphasize hands-on learning, allowing children to develop confidence around horses while understanding proper care and handling.
Group lessons provide a dynamic and social experience where young riders can learn alongside their peers, fostering teamwork and encouragement. Through structured exercises and interactive activities, children gradually build their riding abilities while forming a deeper connection with their horse. For those who prefer more individualized attention, private lessons offer a tailored approach that focuses on personal growth and skill development at a comfortable pace.
Beyond riding, our program teaches responsibility and horsemanship, ensuring that young riders gain respect for these incredible animals. Learning how to groom, tack up, and care for a horse builds valuable life skills, including patience, discipline, and compassion. Whether a child is riding for fun or considering future competitions, our expert instructors create an enjoyable and enriching experience.
Our Teen Equestrians program is designed for riders looking to refine their skills, gain confidence, and take their riding to the next level. Whether they are recreational riders or aspiring competitors, our structured lessons focus on improving technique, control, and communication with the horse. Riders learn advanced maneuvers, proper riding form, and how to navigate courses with precision.
For those interested in group lessons, our classes provide an engaging and challenging environment where teens can grow alongside fellow riders. This setting fosters camaraderie and teamwork, helping students push their limits while also learning from one another. Private lessons offer a personalized experience, allowing instructors to focus on specific goals such as competitive training, jumping, or dressage techniques.
Many of our teen riders go on to participate in competitions, earning recognition for their skills and dedication. With over 1,000 awards won by our students, our program is an excellent choice for those seeking structured development. Whether training for shows or simply riding for personal enjoyment, our lessons equip teens with the knowledge, skills, and confidence they need to succeed.
