Youth Beginner Horsemanship Class We strive to provide a safe, fun and educational environment for all of students and horses. In our beginner horsemanship class we will cover basic aspects of horsemanship both on the ground with horses and riding: On the ground students will learn horse safety, knot tying, grooming, tacking up the horse and so much more. Riding will include a warm-up, stretches, rail work and then students will work on horsemanship patterns. This class is designed for students with no prior to little riding experience. Students will learn how to walk and trot. Students are welcome to ride English or Western. We provide all lesson horses and tack. Please visit with us ahead of time if you would like to bring your own horse to class. You do not have to sign up for all listed class dates, you can select as they fit into your schedule. Each student will receive an equine proficiency skill card, as students progress they will become proficient in what we will believe are necessary skills needed to progress into other horsemanship classes we offer. Once a student has become proficient in all required skills and has received a check off on each skill on their proficiency card, then they will be able to move into our intermediate horsemanship classes. We do enforce a 24 hour cancellation notice policy. Ages 5 and up. Classes will be canceled if temperature is 20 degrees or below.
