Beginner lessons offered with Kay and Monica focus on building a bond of love and trust between horse and rider through natural horsemanship methods taken from a variety of professional trainers and melded together into something that has been proven to work time and time again. They want you to feel confident in your riding.

One horse is available for lessons but it is preferred that you use your own horse if possible. $15 an hour.
Lessons will be given at the Catawba Equestrian Center, but they will travel to you if you have your own horse and would prefer not to move it.

Maya and Matty work together as a way to better your level of training, but when asked will work separately.

If you cannot afford the standard rates, feel free to call and discuss it. Both girls are willing to work for little to no charge after an extensive look into family backgrounds as to not be ripped off.

At one point in their lives, both of the girls were unable to do what they loved so much due to low funds and high rates, and they both strive to make sure nobody else has to go through that.... See More
