Lesson Pricing and Information:
$100.00 Saturday Horse Club 9:00am - 12:00pm Gearing to show or just having fun this program is suitable for beginners who are just starting their equestrian education and also to those riders who have an intermediate level of horsemanship and aspire to have a well-rounded education both in and out of the saddle. Students will have an hour group riding lesson, an hour ground handling/showmanship or barn science activity, and a variety of other fun games, horse crafts, and themed events. We do have openings! Please call or text (941) 545-1852 for more information.
$70.00 Private: 1-Hour instruction, includes 15-20 minutes of grooming and tacking in the barn followed by 40-45 minute riding session. Beginner Riders and New Students: Our riding program is designed for you to learn how to safely work around horses from ground to saddle. You may spend more time in the barn during your lessons as we teach you how to groom, tack, and ready your horse for your lesson. Please expect 30+ minutes in the barn learning these fundamental skills. As you develop the skills required to properly ready your horse, riding time will subsequently increase.
$55.00 Semi-Private/Group 1-Hour instruction, these groups are set up by our riding instructor, as we match age, skill, and interest of each rider within the group. For example, adult group lessons will consist of adult riders, etc. If you are interested in joining a group lesson, please speak with your instructor at your next lesson.
$40.00 Private 30-Minute instruction, includes 10-15 minutes of barn time - grooming, and tacking, followed by 15-20 minutes of riding instruction. These 30 minute lessons are designed for kids ages 8 and under, trial lessons, and adults looking for 'just a little bit' of riding time to get back in the saddle.
