Sincerely, The Jon Walker Stables family

I LOVE showing the kids that they're far more capable of doing things, that they initially don't think they can! It's so rewarding to see their faces after each achievement. Riding lessons at our farm teach children integrity, tenacity and the desire to learnšŸŽ

    Frequently asked questions

    Introducing myself and staff. Taking a tour of the facility and introducing the horses by name and telling them a cute story about each of them!

    First lesson, I have the horse inside ready to be brushed and tacked up. I demonstrate the first side of horse of how to groom. The student grooms the opposite side. They learn basic anatomy, parts of tack etc. First lesson, they learn how to stop and walk, and steer their horse. Those are my initial steps for first lesson with new students!

    I've ridden my whole life. I showed horses as a child and then pursued showing again as an adult. I started teaching 9 Yrs ago and have achieved the status of being a National Champion instructor multiple times, the 8 years I have been participating with my riders at a National level.

    My husband, Jon Walker, has been a trainer his entire adult life and established Jon Walker Stables in 1988.

    $45  1 hour sessions ( including horsemanship, grooming, tacking up and 30 minutes riding time)

    My love for the horses and teaching others my gift. I have great communication skills that work well when interpreting the language of horses to my riders. Horse language, is a language of its own!

    All types of students have come to our farm. We start as early as 3 Yrs old. We have the horses that are gentle and patient enough for the young ones. I currently have an adult that rides with me that is 68 Yrs young. She's unbelievable and having the time of her life. She came to ride for fun and now she is competing against other adults and has won classes at all 4 horse shows she's attended so far this year! It's not just the winning, it's the thrill of seeing people accomplish far more than they ever dreamed, that's what keeps me going!
