Silver Shadow Training / Riding Instructor in Paso Robles, California

We offer a variety of lesson programs that can accommodate nearly any rider!

Beginner - Advanced
Pleasure riding - the Show Ring

From the lead-liners, to our adults thinking about the big step of finally getting their own horse, we teach everybody with their future & goals in mind, and do our best to contribute well-rounded & educated equestrians for the future of the horse world.

Our Beginner lessons start from the ground up, with learning things such as - Proper leading & handling of the horse, understanding the horses 'sight' zones, grooming, tack & it's uses, basic anatomy of the horse, mounting/dismounting correctly, and general safely & first aid, and more more more! All students must groom & tack their own horse before riding, which is a particularly great way to learn responsibility & time management, all while having fun!

Our Advanced lessons are specifically tailored around your abilities & goals. You pick what you want to work on, and we'll tackle it together!
