Western Riding
in Groups

Western riding in groups, allows for novice riders to learn from each other, participate in games & events they may not encounter in private lessons, as well as grow in their horsemanship & equine responsibilities. All group lessons have 2 instructors; class size is limited to 6 riders. Riders with their own horses are welcome also.

The aim of the group riding is to encourage the participants to grow in their riding and levels of responsibility. We can engage in different activities when riding as a group vs individual lessons, and it can be helpful to learn from other riders.
Riders will be encouraged to be semi-independent with their horses, all helping to teach and learn from each other.

Group lessons are an ideal way to prepare for the responsibility of leasing a horse and buying and/or boarding a horse. They are also very beneficial if you are preparing to compete since most shows require several competitors in the ring at the same time.
