Horseback Riding Lessons
RNR Stables’ Horseback riding lesson program has been created to enable horse riders of all ages to develop and nurture their passion to become skilled and knowledgeable equine enthusiasts in a safe and friendly environment with many other horse lovers. The foundation of our lesson program is to teach the importance of learning the right way to ride and care for horses. Our program starts with basic activities that build confidence. Each rider progresses at their own pace and receives individual training while gaining the ability to demonstrate specific skills at each level. We build up from proven basic exercises to help riders achieve higher and higher skill levels as their confidence and abilities grow.
Our unique horseback riding lesson program gives riders a platform to develop their individual equine skills. Learning about horse care and feeding, working with the personalities of our horses, and understanding how horses respond to changing environments are integral parts of our lesson plan. To progress, students must demonstrate learned skills acquired in each level of our skills development plan. Our skills levels are Beginner, Intermediate, and Advanced. Each skills level is designed to build on the student’s ability based on their knowledge and experience with horses when beginning the program.
If you or your child have never ridden a horse before and don’t know if you want to enroll our program, we suggest you purchase our Groupon for a walk and trot only first-time horseback riding experience. If you’re a horse lover looking for the right place to develop true horsemanship skills and meet other riders, we offer a three or six-month contractual agreement lesson program. Each program is outlined with specific activities and tasks. We monitor and measure students’ Skill level to whether they’re Beginner, Intermediate, or Advanced and help them advance. Within each Skill Level program, students will be exposed to many activities to enhance their equine skills including the following:
-
- Barn care and barn rules
- Horse care and grooming
- Sizes and parts
- Breeds and colors
- Equipment and tack
- Ground manners
- Posture and gaits
- Mounting and dismounting
- Learning different competitive events such as pole bending and barrels

financial needs, uncontrollable life situations, or just unsure of their current ability to commit longer terms.
Six-Month Lesson Package Plan
This plan is our most economical plan and is in place to allow participants who know they want a regular, long-term lesson plan and know they are committed to acquiring true Horsemanship skills to enhance their own personal understanding of not only riding horses, but also gaining overall Horsemanship knowledge regarding care, groundwork, different disciplines, multiple events, trail riding, competitions, shows, rodeos, and much more.
