Young Riders Lessons (30 minute session)
Younger riders are more suited to shorter lessons where we cover the basics while we wait for their attention spans and legs to grow! Our Young Rider lessons are specifically focused on safety around the pony, grooming and being comfortable with their new equine pal! The last half of the lesson, the Young Riders will get the chance to be lead around on the horse, and when they are ready, around a series of cones to practice steering, balance and posture. These shorter lessons are filled with silly games and learning fun. Children at this age vary widely in physical and emotional development. You can speak with our instructor to decide when your child will be ready for hour long sessions.
