The Lesson Program
The focus of our lesson program is teaching safety, good horsemanship,
professionalism and excellence in riding skill. We value having
a close knit, family environment at the barn.
Lessons are offered Tuesdays through Saturdays. Most riders are
on the monthly tuition plan, with weekly lessons costing $200/month,
2x per week $360/month and 3x per week $480/month. Single lessons
are $55 each. If students trailer in with their own horse, there
is an additional charge.
We have lesson horses to accomodate the newest beginner through
more advanced levels. New riders are always started in private lessons,
and moved into 2 rider lessons as soon as they are able, and a spot
with a rider of their level is available. One on one, personalized
instruction is very important to us.
Riders do not start jumping until they have become proficient riders
on the flat, and have moved into 2 lessons per week. Safety and
building a good foundation are extremely important to us at Ridgemark
Farm.
Children can start "mini" lessons as young as 4 years
old if they have exceptional focus and are truly horse crazy. We
have both children and adults in our lesson program, some are very
new to riding and some have been riding for many, many years.
Occassionally half lease and quarter lease arrangements are available
when we have the right fit between horse and rider. Leasing is a
great way for riders to transition from the lesson program into
starting to show, and into horse ownership.
Prospective students are always welcome to come and watch lessons,
and to meet us!
