Lesson & Therapy Program
Our lesson and therapy program services beginner to advanced riders, for both children and adults. Academy instructors help students reach their goals while assessing their strengths, weaknesses and guiding them along their individual horsemanship journey. Our ultimate goals is to provide a safe and welcoming environment to build our students' confidence and help them reach their goals.
Each lesson and therapy session includes riding, and grooming and tacking the horse at the beginning and end of the lesson. All lessons are taught by a private one on on instructor unless otherwise arranged.
For those interested in therapy, lessons plans are designed to specifically meet the needs and goals of the rider
