Frequently Asked Questions



  1. Do you teach children?   Yes!
  2. How old do they have to be?    I do not have a set age limit.  I prefer to meet and work with the child one time before deciding.  All kids are different and each has a unique learning style.  However, please note that the sheer lack of strength in a young child plays a large part in their ability.
  3. Do they have to wear helmets?  YES!
  4. Do you supply any gear?  I have helmets.  It is preferable to purchase your own helmet if you will be having more than one or two lessons.
  5. What should they wear on their feet?  Boots are preferable.  NO open toes allowed.  
  6. Do you teach adults?   Yes!
  7. Do you have to own your own horse?  NO!  We use my well trained horses and ponies.
  8. How long are the lessons?  Approximately 60 minutes.
  9. Do you teach group lessons?  No.  I work with each student individually.
  10. I have 2 kids that want to learn, can they come at the same time?  Yes.  I usually spend the first half of the lesson, about 30 minutes, with them both on the ground.  After grooming and tacking up they ride one at a time.
  11. How much does a lesson cost?  $70.00
  12. Do you offer packages for multiple lessons?  Yes.  4 lessons are $265.00. (savings of $15). 8 lessons are $525.00 (savings of $35)  12 lessons are $780.00 (savings of 60.00)
