Details
Horseback riding lessons are scheduled for approximately one hour sessions. Circumstances might require more time, including but not limited to cooling your horse off, rinsing or blanketing your horse. We do lessons Monday through Friday from around 1 PM - 8 PM.
What’s Involved
- All students start by learning how to halter, lead and work with a horse from the ground. Then each lesson, the student will be performing every step in the process of riding. We teach horsemanship, not just riding.
- Students will groom, tack and care for the horse each lesson.
- It will be approximately the third or fourth lesson before they ride.
- Students will start western.
- We will memorize scripture as we also learn about horses.
- It’s $45 for a single lesson or $320 for a package of 8 lessons (which makes each lesson $40).
- Packages are scheduled for once a week on the same day and time for 8 consecutive weeks.
- Lessons are individual (one student per instructor).
- Lessons cannot be every other week unless you would like to pay for the weeks you are not here.
- A package of 8 lessons will not exceed a 10 week period of time. After 10 weeks, a new package must be bought in order to keep your lesson spot.
- All lessons and packages are non-refundable
- Horse Shows: For current riding students that are ready to compete, there would be an opportunity to participate in the Freedom Farm shows and local shows!!
- Group Lessons: For all current students. The cost is just 1 lesson that will be deducted from your package. We normally clean the barn, eat lunch and do a devotion, then ride.
- Barn sleepovers and several other fun events.
- Opportunities to volunteer and hang out at the farm for barn days!
Girl Scout, Boy Scout or Field Trips
The trip would include a two hour visit to our farm. We will break into small groups to teach the students about horse chores like feeding and mucking a stall, groom a horse and of course everyone will get to ride a horse. There will be a riding demonstration and students will be lead by a Freedom Farm volunteer during the their ride. There will be several opportunities for pictures. We will be spending our time inside the barn and in our indoor arena so we can plan trips all year long. It will be a trip your students won’t forget. We schedule visits Monday - Through Saturday, 10am - 6pm. Our calendar fills fast during the summer, so call or email soon to book your outing.
