About this pro
As the owner of the farm I hold a Masters degree in education. Drawing on that information as well as over 40 years of riding experience, I have developed a structured curriculum which is the basis of our weekly lesson plans. We offer 6 different levels from our Little Nicker's program through Advanced.
Our 8 week sessions are developed to promote an appropriate progression of skills. Students can follow their progress online in their portal.
Many of the horses have been teaching riders for over 10 years. Our horses can accommodate riders with no experience up through advanced levels.
Our registration process is easy. Visit nickersretreat.com and visit the lessons page. The descriptions of the class levels are listed to help students choose the appropriate class. Once you find the class level and time that fit, just click register and enter your information!
I have a passion for teaching and horses! With more then 15 years in business, I still enjoy helping students achieve their goals. I have several students who entered my program as young riders and progressed to become successful college competitors!

The skill assessments give you a gauge for progress. Students are always getting constructive feedback from their instructor. Descriptions are skill and age appropriate.

I have been with Nicker’s Retreat for over 10 years and have had an amazing experience here from the very beginning. Lisa Wright is an excellent teacher and she has a personal connection with each and every student, knowing just how to help us through our fears and frustrations. Lessons are always fun, even when I am challenged, and I would highly recommend riding here.

There are several things that we love about Nicker's - the instructor's are very responsive to the students individual's needs, the classes are small and they use positive reinforcement to encourage the students. Our daughter loves being there.

The intimate family feel. It feels like home. The horses are the best and Ms. Lisa is a loving teacher. She knows her stuff and has a wonderful way of instructing each student to their style and skills.
