RIDING LESSONS & A FULL

2023 Lessons

Every rider starts with the fundamentals of safety, balance, cues, animal care, and equine body language. Our goal is to help riders become well-rounded and confident.

Leadline Mini-Lesson ($35)- For children ages 3-5. These lessons are 30 minutes and include grooming and leadline riding.

Private Lessons ($55)- For children ages 6 to adults. A one-hour lesson includes grooming, tacking, riding, and un-tacking.

Group Lessons ($40 per rider)- At the instructor's discretion, riders can participate in group lessons. These sessions help riders improve their skillsets with spacing, equine interaction, distractions, and more. This is a great way to practice for horse shows.

Show Day ($100)- At the instructor's discretion, riders can participate in local horse shows. This fee covers a full day of classes at High Ridge Farm's Horse Show, instructor fee, and hauling.

Spring Special ($5 OFF prepaid lessons) - This discount will automatically appear when you visit our booking link.

Check out our new barn!

After a year of rebuilding, The Farmyard 2.0 has even more to offer our riders. We are honored to be a recipient of a $10,000 award from Horizon Farm Credit. We used the funding to help build our new barn, which will include stalls and a tack area!

Trail Rides

Our 2022 Group Trail Ride was a popular activity for our riders. We look forward to offering more opportunities with this program.

Rainy Day Lessons

As well-rounded equestrians, it is important to learn a variety of information in and out of the saddle. We plan to offer opportunities when the weather isn't conducive to riding. Topics may include tack, anatomy, breeds and all other things horse!
