Our Riding Program
We teach riders of all ages and at all levels. Our program is based on the Forward Riding System. We specialize in hunters but also teach lower-level cross-country, jumpers, and dressage. Our focus is teaching the importance of horsemanship, with each horse’s ability and welfare coming first. If you are looking to “keep up with the Joneses,” our program is not for you. We stress the importance of setting realistic goals based on the individual abilities of each horse and rider.
