The first step to entering our riding school program is to take an “Evaluation Lesson”. Riders must be 6 years or older to be eligible. This half-hour private lesson is designed to have one of our instructors assess the individual riding skills of the new student to properly place them in a “Group Lesson” according to their riding level. ( see Program Levels) If the student is not skilled enough to comfortably enter a group, they will be offered the opportunity to enroll in our “New Rider Package”. For those of you who are younger than 6 years of age, we offer the “Lil’ Bits” program for riders who have reached the age of 4 by June 1 of that year. ( No exceptions) “Private Lessons” and” Semi-Private lessons” are available to those who are trying to advance quickly to a higher level group and must be recommended by the instructor.
