RIDING LESSONS
Equestrian Center Rules:
Prices are per person. Waivers are required for all riders. Minors must have a responsible adult sign before participating in any riding activity. Riders should arrive at least 20 minutes prior to their lesson and must check in with Devon. ASTM/SEI approved safety helmets are required of all riders. Center will provide approved helmet at no additional charge if rider does not have his or her own. Cancellations must be made at least 4 hours in advance or will be subject to a 50% cancellation fee. No shows will be charged a 100% fee. Rubber riding boots and full chaps are recommended (however, if you do not have breeches, please wear jeans and a boot with a small heel). Refunds are only approved if a documented illness applies and are based on lessons used at current full price, not a prorated price. A $10 per day grounds fee will be charged for horses trailered in for a lesson, unless the rider has a lesson package.



Please understand that there is a weight limit for each horse. Typically, the maximum weight a horse can carry will be 20-30% of the horse's body weight (provided the horse is in good, physical shape). For example, a 900lb horse can carry a maximum range of 180 - 270lb person.

My equine student: My 4 Year Old, TB x Morgan, Liver Chestnut Mare "Tuesday". This is her

first day of training. She appears to be very frightened of people, she has no basic training. Her experience is only to accept some light weight on her back, and to go

forward and stop. She is a very sweet girl and once she overcomes her fear, I believe she will have the potential, heart and mind to excel in any discipline. Click HERE to see video of Tuesday working under saddle - day one!

 

Limited Openings For New Students and/or Horses!

 

 

Equine Student: Gibson, my 5 Yr Old, 15.1hh, QH x Draft Horse Rescue Horse. 3 Months Later and

although he will never make a great dressage horse, he is an awesome horse with potential as a HUS or great trail horse. This guy has personality plus and a huge heart.

 

 

 

 

TESTIMONIAL:

 

Email from Angie Stockman dated 6 January 2008:

 

I wanted to tell you that when you were getting on Ox and I was leaving, all the girls you gave lessons to were talking and raving about how much they loved dressage.  The 1st girl (Carlie, on Sir) was saying "I thought I was going to hate the lesson today and was dreading it, but when I got up on Sir and Devon was explaining everything, I realized that it might be kind of fun.  And then she was such a GREAT teacher I LOVED it!  I'm so excited about learning dressage now!  I was trying it on the other horse today after the lesson.  I loved riding Sir so much, he is such an amazing horse!"  And the two other girls were saying "Yeah I really loved it as well, Devon was great, she really helped me understand what I was doing." 
So - there you go!! 
Now I'm going to be beating off other students with a stick just to get a few minutes of lesson from you!  ;)
