OPENINGS STILL AVAILABLE! Spring classes are forming!
We use a curriculum that incorporates LEVELS into our lesson plans. Beginner students learn about horses, their behavior, body language and basic beginner riding skills. Riders in this category are beginners, with little to no horse experience.
The BEGINNER LEVEL is RED and is designated B-B1
This Level is designed to give students a safe overview of basic mounted and unmounted skills. It introduces safety concepts for handling horses on the ground and in the saddle. Takes rider through grooming, tacking up, mounting and dismounting, riding at the walk and beginning to learn the posting trot.
Students will learn basic safety practices for working around horses; simple identification of tack and grooming equipment; elementary equine anatomy; and basic needs of the horse. Additionally, they will work on their posting trot, learn diagonals, trot over poles and patterns and begin to change direction while trotting.
This level is designed to further develop students’ basic skills while preparing them to jump. Green Level introduces the canter and an awareness of leads; provides equitation and dressage exercises on the flat and the development of smooth turns and good approaches over ground pole courses; introduces jumping over an 18” crossrail; and emphasizes the
need to develop a strong, balanced position before jumping courses.
