Riding Lessons

We are suspending riding lessons indefinitely while we build a new home and meeting facility on the farm.  We will teach lessons donated to charity auctions like Lift Me Up, Museum of Culpeper History and CDCTA in the interim.

For Auction winners,  we will offer English riding lessons to adults and children at the beginner to low intermediate level on a limited basis.  Beginner classes are taught in the basic centered riding style.  Riding outside the ring is offered as part of our lesson package after riding skills have been evaluated.  We also offer basically driving lessons.

We use our Norwegian Fjord horses for lessons. Although technically large ponies, they are substantial enough to carry almost any adult without difficulty. Fjords are a gentle and quiet breed of horse. They are well suited for lessons as they can carry a beginner child for a leadline lesson or jump a 2 1/2 foot course for an adult at the intermediate level. 

All riders must sign a liability wavier prior to riding, as well as wear a helmet and hard soled shoes.  We have helmets for our riders to use.
