Please contact me with ANY inquiries at , via text or phone call at , or via facebook, twitter, myspace, or linkedin ("Wendy Lynn Arabians"). New horse doesn't actually give contact info out when you use the "shop around" option, so unfortunately it's impossible for me to get back to you with that route! I appreciate it, and look forward to hearing from you. Wendy Lynn Arabians offers riding lessons, horse training, camps, and birthday parties in North Scottsdale. Instruction is available in all disciplines including saddleseat, hunter, and western pleasure, showmanship, equitation, and show hack. All levels are welcome, including beginners, as well as all ages of riders from 5 yrs and up. Everyone who rides is required to sign a liability waiver, and all minors are required to wear an approved riding helmet. Helmets will be provided initially if you do not have your own. Long pants are required, jeans are fine, and some sort of boot with a heel must be worn to ride. Cancellations must be made 24 hours in advance or you will be charged. If you have another commitment you know about ahead of time we usually just find another riding time that week so that varying schedules can be accommodated.

Lessons are private, hour long, and $40 each. In that lesson you learn how to lead, groom, and tack your horse as well as ride. Riding time is usually 30-45 minutes. Tons of individual attention is given on experienced, safe, and quality school horses. Friends and family members are welcome to stay and watch lessons as long as children are under supervision.

During the summer and school breaks kid's horse camp is also available. Camp is typically 4 hours long in the morning and $75 a day. During camp kids ride, do crafts, and play games. There is also additional time to cover things not normally in a regular lesson like clipping, bathing, showmanship, cleaning tack, and educational activities such as breeds, colors, and parts of the horse.

Birthday parties are offered for groups of up to 8 kids, 5 yrs and up. They include hands on grooming, feeding the horses treats, and a pony ride for all. Parties can be tailored for your individual needs.
