Lessons can be individual or group lessons. With an indoor arena, we teach year round from the middle of the winter to the warm summers! We will match you with one of our exceptional lesson horses that will increase your confidence and skills. General common-sense horsemanship is offered, as well as more in-depth instruction in whatever area you need strengthening in!
Speed event clinics and private sessions include barrel racing, pole bending/weaving, Jumping figure 8,  key race, and all the other sanctioned WSCA and 4-H games. Where space is available, our students are also welcome to attend events and competitions where you will have one-on-one coaching for each event; we only ask  you cover the cost of using your horse for the day, same as you would for a lesson.
