Megan Elisha H. Tong / Riding Instructor in Charlotte, Vermont

I offer both English and Western lessons.

Western riding lessons are game-focused, with an emphasis on learning how to ride safely and develop a secure seat while riding for the fun and adventure of it! If you are an English rider wanting to cut loose a little and expand your horizons, or are a beginner wanting to develop a secure and confident seat that will be serve you well in any discipline you choose in the future, Western is a great and exciting option. Lessons will progress in the direction of the student's interest, and could include barrel racing, gymkhana games, trail riding, and bareback riding.

English lessons are available for kids and small adults on Laura, our foundation fell pony mare. We will learn in the Classical Dressage tradition (aka The Art of Riding Warhorses!), the top tier of which is practiced by the Lipizzaner stallions at the Spanish Riding School. English lessons will also be focused on having fun while learning to ride, with a lot of the same gymkhana game elements as with western riding for beginners, but will be particularly exciting for anyone wishing to advance in dressage or other English disciplines because of the depth of skill and riding technique covered. I also should emphasize that a person trained to ride in the classical tradition will have the secure seat, control, and horse sense to master any discipline they choose later on. It lays an excellent foundation of solid riding skills and good communication between horse and human that give students a headstart no matter what they choose to pursue later.
