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.
We have a variety of weekly riding packages for every cowboy & cowgirl. No matter where you are starting...

Monthly Lessons
Both of our winter locations are equipped with indoor riding spaces to cut the wind & snow. They are not heated so still plan to bring your gloves and warm gear on chilly days!
Group Lessons
Our group lessons are done in groups of 2-4 depending on the arena at the location. In the colder months at Erin Valley our indoor space is quite small, up until April class sizes here will be maxed at 2 per class. We find group lessons can help build confidence and give you the opportunity to learn both hands on and from spectating the other students. Our group lesson registration is done here on the website but never hesitate to reach out to us if you have any questions or are unsure of which class is best for you.
