Riding Lessons

Little Tikes

Ages 7 Years Old and under

Children will get to do hands on grooming and learn about the horse. They will ride with an instructor in each lesson. We find this makes the kids feel comfortable and allows them to do more on the horse with the safety net of an instructor right along with them.

Children learn games on and off the horse that help them gain confidence and balance. They become comfortable with the movement, size and control of the horse. Once the child is able to ride on their own and control the horse and ride for longer periods of time, they will move up to regular private riding lessons.

Time: 30 minutes total

Private Lesson

Ages 7 & Up

All riders are started in private lessons and remain there until they can control the horse at a walk and trot, in the arena, and are deemed capable of dealing with others in the ring safely.

Private lessons are the best way to advance riding skills. Riders have 100% of the instructor’s attention and expertise. Cedar Spring Farm prides itself on not only amazing instructors, but the very best lesson horses. Our horses are well cared for, happy, well trained, and we provide a safe and clean environment. Learning to ride is something that should be done well with safety and fun being first priorities.

Total Time: 30 minutes or 60 minutes

Group Lesson

All Ages (7 & Up)

Group lessons are the perfect way to advance your skills and learn to guide your horse around “traffic” and learn with others. You also have the advantage of learning from the mistakes and triumphs of your fellow classmates. For the purpose of safety for yourself and others riding with you, in order to be in the group lessons, you must have passed the skills test out of the beginner level.

Semi-Private and Group Options
