Frequently asked questions
What is your typical process for working with a new student?
Typically, with a student who has no equine experience, part of the lesson includes teaching them to prepare to ride, we call this "tacking up". When learning to tack up, the instructor will get you the appropriate safety equipment and will show you how to properly handle the horse. They will also teach you how to groom and put all of the equipment on the horse. During the introductory lesson, the instructor works on very basic things, while keeping in mind the comfort or discomfort of the rider. Riding a horse for the first time can be intimidating but it can also be very therapeutic, we want to make sure you have a very positive experience. For riders with previous equine experience, we start with an assessment lesson so that the instructor can assess your current level of ability and place you with an appropriately skilled trainer and horse.
