Designed for novices and riders aged six and up, this 45-minute session invites participants to gain practical skills and build confidence around horses in an intimate, small-group setting.

You’ll master the essentials of saddling and bridling under attentive guidance, setting the stage for your turn in the saddle. Led safely by staff, your first ride is steady and reassuring, perfect for easing nervous beginners into the rhythms of horseback movement.
