Our horses and instructors teach our students the fundamentals of riding. We follow the hunt-seat tradition which includes both riding on the flat and jumping. As Rising Stars, students learn and have fun, many fall in love with horses for a lifetime. In the end, riders have more confidence in their riding ability and more importantly, in life.
We believe that what we do is about people. We use our horses as a way to teach skills, responsibility and compassion. We are serious about good riding but never lose sight that in the end, our job is to build confidence. That's what makes us different. Experienced instructors draw from diverse backgrounds offering varying approaches for those with different learning styles.

Programs
Report
Our programs are designed for riders of all experience levels. Equestrians learn the basics needed to enjoyably and competently ride. Some choose to go on and own a horse and successfully show, others ride in the school program for years. Adults are often fulfilling a lifelong desire and want the benefit of regular exercise and new friends.
Pricing
Report
We offer our customers two different billing options: Quarterly Tuition or 10-Pack Tuition which provides customers with flexible payment options. Quarterly Tuition is set-up as a fixed price with the idea that some lessons are missed ex. The price per lesson is a little more but you have three months to use the 10 lessons so you can miss a couple lessons without a loss.
Scheduling
Report
Our riding lessons are designed to combine fun with serious riding instruction. Since we work in groups, riders are asked to come to their lesson on time, well rested and with a good attitude. Riders are responsible for grooming and tacking as well as cooling out their horse. This requires that they come at least 20 minutes prior to the lesson start time and are prepared to stay 20 minutes following the lesson.
