Lessons will be tailored to meet the needs and goals of the individual rider. Beginner lessons will be private. Intermediate riders may ride in a small group and benefit from the examples of other riders at a similar level.

The lesson will begin with learning to groom and tack up the horse and end with untacking, blanketing if necessary, and putting the horse away. Time spent in the saddle will vary from 30-50 minutes, depending on how much help the rider needs with these tasks.

Since becoming a horseperson is more than just learning to ride, I may ask my students to do additional age-appropriate work outside the barn such as reading or improving basic strength and fitness.
