Program Descriptions
Tiny Tots - Sundays 10am
Do you have a Toddler/Preschooler who seems keen on horses? Tiny Tots is an introductory 4 week course designed for youngsters. Your child will be introduced to horses through basic safety, light grooming, riding and lots of fun games to keep their minds busy! This engaging class is for children ages 2 to 5 years of age.
Class Length: 30 minutes Cost: $25/class + GST Junior Riders - Saturday 9:30am, Sunday 11am
Designed especially for kids ages 5 through 7, Junior Riders begins to explore basic horsemanship skills; grooming, tacking, leading & basic stable management. While still parented, these riders begin developing the correct position, balance, aids (cues to ask the horse to do something) through basic arena exercises & games. The slightly longer class time helps to expand attention spans, while still keeping within a reasonable time frame for young minds to stay interested and having fun!
Class Length: 1 hour Cost: $35/ class ** One parent per child required. Adults - Please inquire for appropriate class placement!
We have separate classes for our Adult riders. While the classes are separate from the children's classes, the levels listed to the right under "Kids & Teens" are the same. Adult classes are specifically designed to help with flexibility, dexterity, co-ordination, muscle memory & of course a good social get away, all while on horseback!
Class Length: 1 hour riding lesson, 30 minutes before and after class required for horse care. Cost: $35/class Horsemanships
For riders who are ready to delve into the psychology, physiology and geometry of the horse. Riders who are invited to partake in this program work through both on the ground and in the saddle skills. The constant theme is creating better leadership for our horses. Leadership is built through correct timing, balance, understanding and consistency. To be considered for this program, you must have already completed a Level 2 or above in our regular program, demonstrate good work ethic and have a strong desire to better yourself as a Leader.
Semi-Private & Private Lessons
We offer semi-private (2 riders) and private lessons to students with their own horses or who are leasing. Smaller groups work well for many situations including working with young horses, specific training needs or goals, show ring preparation or just needing one on one to focus! These lessons are scheduled during daytime hours Monday through Friday, some evenings. Privates can be scheduled with Sonja or Jody.
Semi-Private: $45/rider (up to 60 minute class) Private: $50 ( up to 45 minute class) |
