Riding Lessons
Dakota Stables riding lessons

Learn either English and Western Riding
Basics of good equitation
Correct horseback riding position
Saddling a horse
Proper Grooming
Hoof care

The lessons will be private and cover such things as the correct way to approach the horse, leading and working around the horse safely, mounting and dismounting, position etc. Children who are old enough will be taught about grooming and tacking up. We will also go over how to correct problems with the horse when riding, how to correct problems with the rider when riding, collection/extention, balance, and bareback riding.

We will determine when your child is ready to move on to the next step, and will never push a child past what she/he thinks they can handle.

Requirements: Safety Riding Helmet- one will be provided for the first few lessons and then students are expected to purchase their own, closed sturdy shoes, long pants to clover the legs while on the horse. We do require parents to sign a Liability release before any lessons will be given.

Class B: Monday Evening at 7:15 (Western Riding)

If a student calls at least 24 hours ahead to cancel their lesson, we will just reschedule the lesson.  If they don't call ahead to cancel or are a no-show, they will be unable to make up the lesson.
