A little more about our lesson program..
We have been teaching people and training horses for over 30 years and have set up a lesson plan to bring you the most success in the shortest amount of time. Our passion is to share the magic of horses with every person we meet and hopefully create as many horse crazy people as we can along the way! Our Training Program allows us to offer safe horses and a step-by-step program to help you learn not only how to ride, but how to correctly understand and communicate with horses. We consider the Erin Valley team part of our family and do our best to supply you only with the highest quality of coaching. As our program is progressive, all students will start with the basic horsemanship skills our program is based on and move up from there. We do accept funding through autism, Kool School & Jumpstart! Please reach out to us to confirm your spot if you would like to register our lessons through funding. Unfortunately we have a weight limit of 230 lbs until we are able to add some more horses to our string.
Our one hour classes are perfect for everyone from the first time rider to experienced riders with the same goal...to learn and have fun with horses! In our classes we go over horsemanship skills and learn to correctly communicate with our horses. We will also learn the rodeo events, barrel racing and pole bending.

Our Coaches
Lynette Mills is the owner of Erin Valley Riding Stables! She has been teaching people and training horses for the last 30 years and continues to love every minute of it! She has been out of the Lesson Program for the past 10 years while she was travelling the world teaching the Training Thru Method her and her husband created. We are over to moon to have her back on the team! Her love for people and horses is larger than I have ever seen.
Sydney Deley is no stranger to Erin Valley and the Training Thru Trust Method. From years of riding lessons to years of coaching, we are so blessed to have her on our team. Sydney specializes in horsemanship and rodeo events. From competing in High School rodeo in multiple events to training her own horse and winning the "Spring Horsemanship Challenge" she knows the steps it takes to take a horse and rider from start to finish! Sydney is available for select lessons and works mostly in our Rodeo Academy!
Logan Hamson has been a member of the Erin Valley family for the past ten years and has become a huge asset in our team. We have been able to watch her grow into an amazing rider and woman and now share her knowledge with others!
She too has a strong passion for rodeo and horsemanship and is a competitor herself. Logan specializes in beginner riders! Her positive attitude and ability to keep the students engaged is one of the many things we love about her. |
Kelcie Mills has grown up on the ranch and has loved every minute of it. She has been competing in rodeo since she was three years old using horses she has trained herself using her dads program. Spending her time teaching lessons, training horses and hosting camps she feels she is truly living her dream. Kelcie is only available for lessons in her Rodeo Academy
Toni Edwards is one of our Toddler coaches! When she's not teaching Toddlers to ride, Toni spends her time feeding and taking care of the horses! Toni specializes in Equine Nutrition and owns her own supplement company Happy Horse Pure Supplements.
Chloe Scott has grown up surrounded by the Mills family and we are proud to now call her one of our coaches. Her passion for horses started as soon as she could walk. With her mom working at the stables full time, Chloe “lived” at the stables and around horses. She started barrel racing with her own horse and found her passion for rodeo!
Similar to most of our coaches, Chloe went from a student to a coach here at Erin Valley! |
