BOOK WITH instructor SARAH SMITH
Our riding lessons take place on private, well-maintained property, offering a peaceful and focused environment for every rider. Students work with calm, well-trained horses carefully matched to their experience level, ensuring a safe and positive experience from the very first ride. Whether you’re a brand-new beginner or an advanced rider refining your technique, our program adapts to meet your goals and comfort level. Lessons are tailored to each individual, with patient instruction that emphasizes clear communication, balance, and trust between horse and rider. Younger riders build confidence and coordination through fun, hands-on learning, while adults rediscover the joy of riding in a calm and welcoming atmosphere. Advanced riders have opportunities to sharpen their skills, explore new disciplines, or prepare for specific riding goals. With personalized attention and a relaxed setting, our program allows riders of all ages to grow at their own pace while developing a lifelong love of horses.
