SUMMER CAMP IS FILLING QUICKLY - CALL SOON!!!!!
As a riding instructor, I often hear parents trying to tell their children to "be the boss" of a thousand pound animal. This is a little misguided. I believe that the ultimate goal of riding is to become equal partners with your horse, and my favorite job is to match up horses and riders. I try to give everyone a chance to bond with their favorite mount, not only through riding, but also by learning to care for horses and understand how they think and feel, as well as how to handle them on the ground. The partnership that people form with horses is very unique.
Our lesson and trail horses are selected for their calm, quiet dispositions and tolerance for rider error. Some riding schools employ "push-button" horses. This means that the horses listen to signals from the riding teacher while the students only have to worry about maintaining the proper position. Our horses are "equine barometers". They respond to cues given by you, the rider, and will wait patiently for you to ask them correctly.
Here at Horseng Farm, we have a program to meet your individual needs. Our students range from the most serious riders in heavy competition to the horse enthusiast just learning to ride, and everyone in between. Our group sizes are kept very small so that every one gets individual attention, no more than four riders for beginners and six for the advanced students. All of our students are taught to tack and untack before and after the lesson. Good horsemanship and a strong foundation of the basics of riding are always thoroughly covered in every lesson.
