Lessons
Lessons are offered for beginner to advanced riders. Beginners are started out with an emphasis on correct balance, and quiet, effective aids in addition to general horsemanship. New riders learn to safely handle, groom and prepare the horses for riding as a part of their lesson.
More advanced riders from all disciplines will benefit from instruction in correct rider biomechanics and classical training principles.
We take pride in providing quiet, well-schooled horses for our students to learn on. If you wish to practice between lessons, we offer horses for part-board as well. Please inquire as to availability.
Clinics
Riding clinics with Carol are held bi-monthly on the premises and ship-ins are welcome. Carol is also available for external clinics and dismounted workshops.
- Learn the anatomy and biomechanics behind finding the correct rider position, and how it affects the horse.
- Learn the muscles that hold you in balance and how to activate them.
- Learn to sit symmetrically while gaining body awareness.
- Find “neutral spine” and appropriate core muscle tone for riding.
