Riders will participate in mounted (on the horse) and unmounted activity tailored to progress each participant in learning to safely tie, groom, saddle and bridle, mount and ride a horse. We offer group or private lessons designed to progress each rider, building on their individual skills to safely enjoy connecting with and learning from the horses.
