In support of our mission to create an environment where horses under our care can find a calm, safe, and happy home and our customers can enjoy the positive mindsets of their horses either as interested owners and/or riders. We have two trainers, Bill Walton and Shaughnessy Morris. Bill trains for Western, Hunt Seat, Hunter Jumper, and Dressage and Shaughnessy trains Western, Hunt Seat and Saddle Seat. Our training is not breed specific.
Our trainers maintain detailed records of each training session. This information is shared periodically with the horse's owner during training. We offer full training and half training. Full training includes up to five workouts per week of approximately 1 hour in length. To complete full training the horse receives 20 workouts. Full training can last more than one month.
Half training includes up to five workouts every two weeks. To complete half training the horse receives 10 workouts. Half training can last more than one month.Time attributable to training sessions includes saddling and unsaddling the horse.
We believe that good rider skills need to be developed in conjunction with our training program. In support of this concept, we include one free lesson for each full month of training and one half price lesson for each half training session.
Our lessons range in length from 1/2 hour to 1 hour. Any time our instructor spends with a student is included in the time of the lesson. It is the instructor’s prerogative to determine the length of each lesson. To encourage the development of rider skills, we offer a $25.00discount off published lesson rates when bought in a package of five lessons.
The restriction
to this plan is that the lessons must be used within thirty days.
We offer semi private lessons (2 students) . The length of semi-privatelessons
is 45 minutes to 1 1/2 hours. It is the instructor's prerogative to determine
the length of each lesson and who may participate in such lessons.
For riders who do not have tack or a horse, we will provide tack appropriate to your size and riding preference and a horse appropriate to your riding skills. Our instructor’s time is valuable. We also understand that conflicts can occur in your schedule. In the event, however, you fail to provide 24-hour notice of your inability to make a lesson, you will be charged for that lesson.
