Riding Lessons
Group Sessions of 10 hours over 5 weeks - Beginners, Intermediates, and Adult Groups.
Lessons include catching + tacking up the horse, followed by a riding lesson catered to the group's level of experience.
All sessions cover the walk, trot, and canter
Riding Lessons are great for your health: mentally, physically, and emotionally. Lessons that involve trotting and cantering are great cardio exercises, as they stimulate the circulatory and respiratory systems. The rising trot also works the abs, lower back, quads, and calves, all the while having fun riding!! While you are riding, repeated movements, or patterned movements used to control the horse sharpen reflexes as well. Even at a walk, your muscles relax and contract to maintain balance, therefore strengthening your core muscles.
Horses are great mirrors and every animal has a different personality, presenting challenges to each rider. We believe in pushing boundaries and expanding our comfort zones - you will carry these skills with you for the rest of your life! Overcoming fear and anxiety, perseverance, problem solving, patience, responsibility, decisiveness, and building trust and confidence are some examples of skills you will develop!
