Lessons:
Our lessons are taught by professionals with safety and horsemanship incorporated into a program which emphasizes solid skills at the basics to advanced strategies for the show ring. We are not a farm that puts ten kids in a ring and has them walk around for an hour. We believe in individual attention, especially at the beginner level, so that the basics are corrected and mastered through one on one instruction. Horsemanship is taught right from the beginning with students learning to groom, tack and handle a horse from the ground. When these skills are mastered, students arrive early for their lesson and are responsible for getting their own horse ready. As our students progress,they may enter into our group lesson program, which we limit to four per class, so each student still has lots of quality time. Boarders and show team members also enjoy individual attention through our private lesson program.
The farm is home to twelve well-trained school horses that allow non-horse owning students to develop at all levels. Leasing options are available. Lessons are taught 7 days a week, with day and evening hours available. Rates are $40 for ½ hour private and $35 for an hour group. Please call the farm at 630-551-0145 to schedule.
Training:
We also offer training for your horse. Training may be obtained by the ride or by the month. We can start young horses or correct problems with older horses. Please call for pricing and availability.
