Lessons at Myrewyn may look a little different. I approach training a young horse or a new rider in much the same way — working slowly, addressing fear and ensuring lesson comprehension before moving on. Most new riders will begin on the lead or lunge to learn proper balance before being given the reins at each new gait.

Lessons may be held indoors or out, may be mostly unmounted at times while we learn concepts or horse management (especially useful on bad weather days), and may occasionally be a ride following me on the trails to learn riding over varied terrain.

Progress may look slow at times and should not be compared to friends who may be riding at more typical modern riding schools where horses are more automatic and riders progress along a more predictable timeline. Learning in this way takes some extra time but will allow a rider to pursue their equestrian goals whatever those may be.

Please note that after much consideration, I no longer offer lesson horses. I am currently accepting students age sixteen and up who can provide their own horse. I do have some horses available for half lease for those who do not own a horse but are ready to step up to a leasing program.
