We offer training for both horse and rider, and can travel to your premises to carry out training. If a few people at the same barn would like training, the trip charge is split between all clients.
A basic outline of our pricing structure is outlined below, however if necessary I can work up a detailed price quotation (for example a 'package' price to start, back and 'ride away' a young horse).
Single lesson (our horse).............................. $ 45.00
Single lesson (your horse)............................. $ 40.00
Block of four lessons (our horse)..................... $160.00
Block of four lessons (your horse).................... $140.00
For young children (under six years old) I recommend a thirty minute lesson, as their concentration and muscle tone doesn't lend itself to longer sessions. A thirty minute lesson is $30 (or $100 for a block of 4), and while the child may be required to do a very small amount of light grooming, the majority of the time will be spent on horseback, whether riding or 'playing' (working on confidence and balance through various exercises while the horse is halted).
