Pony Pros Horseback Riding Lessons
If this is your first time horseback riding, prepare to fall in love! First time riders will spend a few minutes getting to know their pony on the ground before getting on. Then riders will learn the basics of steering, stopping, and going under saddle, and take their skills to the next level on a lungeline! With our great lesson ponies, warm indoor arena for the winter, and spacious outdoor arena for the summer, you're sure to have fun.
We offer two programs - Vaulting, which is one time per week or drop-in, and Horsemanship, which is two times per week. Vaulting is the safest equestrian sport, which is why we allow casual attendance. Our Horsemanship program requires a minimum of 2 lessons per week because of the greater degree of skill involved. Studies show that it takes 1000 hours around horses to be a competent rider and handler, and that students do not improve at a rate that benefits their safety with only a weekly lesson, so we require 2x/wk for Horsemanship lessons. Because a trainer is control of the pony during vaulting lessons, vaulting does not put added stress on our ponies, making casual lessons feasible.
Please note - we encourage students to come for a month to try the PonyPros program and see how it differs from other lesson programs. After the one month trial period, students are asked to buy a helmet and riding attire (boots, breeches, and half chaps).
