Meets 3 times/month (April - Oct. as space is available)
Classes focus on safety and hands-on activities with a short pony ride at the third class.
Can sign up online, no evaluation lesson required. Min. of 3 participants to run this class.
We also offer a Young Rider camp for kids 4 to 7.
We also offer 1 day Pony Pal classes through out the year (30 min. classes with pony centered activities).
Lesson includes grooming/tacking/basic mounted skills/untacking.
Your first few lessons will focus on more grooming, once a rider learns grooming/tacking the lesson will spend more time on riding. As riders become more independent with grooming/tacking they may arrive early to groom/tack.
All riders will need to obtain paddock boots, helmet & grooming tote.
Riders in these lessons should also attend our horsemanship classes for additional grooming instruction.
THIS PROGRAM INCLUDES HOMESCHOOL RIDERS LOOKING FOR DAYTIME LESSONS.
Equine Therapy Time (including adaptive lessons) $25
Unmounted sessions involving grooming, grazing, bathing, in hand arena work.
Equine therapy time is similar to a practice ride but is unmounted.
This program is for riders looking to spend time with horses on the ground and have had at least 8 lessons (at GES).
Riders can stay in this program without taking regular lessons as long as they sign up for a min. of 2 therapy times per month.
