Our riding instructor Tiffany McWhirter has been riding for 30 years and began riding competitively 27 years ago. She has been teaching 20 of those years, long enough to see a couple of her students go on to be instructors themselves. Although no longer riding competitively, she still enjoys teaching the young riders and giving them a solid correct foundation in horsemanship based on the Pony Club standards and the classical methods of dressage. She specializes in teaching clear and effective communication between horse and rider through correct use of the aids using a “natural horsemanship” philosophy of harmonizing with your horse, gaining his trust and willingness to carry out our wishes without resistance. Children in our program will be schooled in every aspect of horsemanship – not just the riding parts. We believe in teaching you how to be a complete and well-rounded equestrian, starting with ground manners, ground work and basic horsemanship skills. You will learn how to handle, groom, and prepare your horse safely. Through this process, you develop a more thorough understanding of horses before you mount and ride. We provide a classical safe learning environment for the beginner thru the more experienced rider, with an experienced instructor that knows how to teach. We also have well-schooled quiet lesson horses for the best learning experience. Enjoy riding in our huge lighted outdoor riding arenas with covered viewing areas for parents or cool off in our air conditioned break room while the kids ride. Come see how fun learning how to ride can be! Call or Text today! . Email inquiries to Lessons start at $40.00 (once weekly), discounts for boarders and those who pay monthly.
