In the first three lessons, students learn how to:
In the 6th lesson students have the opportunity to apply what they have learned with the miniature horses to one of our
full-sized horses and, if they are comfortable (which they usually are!), they have a chance to get up in the saddle and take a ride around our ring!
Our Horsemanship Program can include up to 4 students per class.
Cost: $100/lesson $600/session
