Lessons

 We're excited to announce our newest riding program, specifically designed for our youngest equestrians aged 2 1/2 through to 5 years old!

This "Tiny Tot" program offers a wonderful introduction to the enchanting world of horses in a way that's engaging, educational, and incredibly fun. Your child will not only gain confidence in the saddle but also learn essential horsemanship skills.

What to expect in our Tiny Tot lessons:

• Horsemanship fundamentals: From grooming and tacking to mastering proper leading and expanding their horse-related vocabulary, each lesson is structured to nurture familiarity and proficiency in a supportive setting.
• Balance and riding techniques: With assistance, our young riders will explore proper riding techniques, setting the foundation for a lifelong love of horseback riding.
• Emphasis on fun and confidence: We celebrate the efforts of our tiny tots and encourage a joyful learning atmosphere where confidence, safety, and enjoyment are the primary goals.
• Personalized attention: Our program features a 1:1 child/trainer ratio to ensure individualized instruction and safety. (Parent must be present for the entire lesson but does not need to participate.)

Benefits for your young rider:

• Physical Development: Horseback riding helps develop balance, coordination, core strength, and gross motor skills.
• Sensory Stimulation: Interacting with horses provides unique sensory experiences, stimulating touch, feel, and smell.
• Confidence Building: Learning to ride and control a pony boosts self-esteem and provides a sense of accomplishment.
• Social Skills: Lessons involve interaction with instructors and sometimes other riders, helping develop communication skills and the ability to follow instructions.
• Connection with Nature: Riding outdoors offers an opportunity to connect with nature and learn about animals.
• Emotional Benefits: Spending time with horses can have a calming effect, teaching empathy and responsibility.
• Cognitive Development: Children can develop problem-solving and decision-making skills as they learn to direct the horse.

This program is ideal for young enthusiasts who demonstrate strong motor and focusing skills. For tots who quickly show remarkable confidence or skills, there's the opportunity to seamlessly transition into our comprehensive program designed for budding young equestrians.
