Riding Lessons

Horses are our partners and our friends. Horsemanship is a life long learning process. We are committed to providing our students with a strong understanding of the horse. We strive to provide personal and affordable hands on instruction for youths, beginners and horse enthusiasts of all kinds. We emphasize safety, fun and friendships while learning to ride.

Lesson horses are available and are encouraged if you do not have the lasting interest for the investment.

Forms Of Riding

At Careywood Training Stables we train in the three most common forms of riding; English, Dressage and Western. We encourage you to do some research and choose the style that best suits your personality. Each form has its own set of uses, tack and riding styles. Also, each form of riding has its own set of sports. No one form is better than another, your choice is a very personal one. Which ever form you choose we are here to help you become competent.

Private Lessons

Individual lessons are recommended for all new riders and are also available to suit your busy schedule or specific needs and goals.

Group Lessons

Group Lessons are perfect for the adult or Child who wants to bring a friend along. Often you learn faster if you bounce the lessons learned off one another. You see that you are not alone when things are a little difficult. On the other hand if your horsemanship levels are too far apart or you are schooling a horse, private lessons are the most economical.

Family Lessons

This year we have added a new lesson category; The Family Lesson. This is designed for families with two or more children or where Mom or Dad want to learn as well. It is focused on safety, proper equitation and the way the horse thinks. These lessons do not move along as quickly as private lessons as only one horse is used. If you are looking for two or more horses, we suggest group lessons.
