We offer riding lesson instruction to riders of all levels and abilities in small groups and private lessons using well trained, safe horses that are available for students who do not have their own mounts. The same lesson options are also available for students who board their horses with us or who trailer in for lessons. Our instructors are friendly, experienced, creative and focused on the safety of our students; they use a variety of teaching techniques to help students progress to their full potential. We are proud to be a part of the strong community of horse enthusiasts in the New River Valley.
