Horsemanship is about much more than riding. It is the foundation upon which the relationship between horse and rider is built. 

Our horsemanship class is required for all Miracles students, regardless of their previous equine experience. It is important that all students know and practice safety rules for navigating in and around the barn and among our horses; how to approach & halter a horse, leading, grooming, tacking up, etc.  The Horsemanship class is held Saturday mornings at 10:00 am and Wednesday evenings at 6:00 pm.

FIRST LESSON & EVALUATION

All riders, regardless of age or riding ability, are required to schedule their first lesson & evaluation, prior to scheduling any other lesson. During this lesson your instructor will evaluate your horsemanship and riding ability. Additionally, it provides opportunity for you to discuss your riding goals and to work with your instructor to develop an appropriate plan.

*Horsemanship class is a prerequisite.

GROUP LESSONS

Group lessons are scheduled three times per week. Riders are grouped according to their ability as determined by their instructor (maximum of 4 riders per group)

LITTLE BITS

Our Little Bits program is for children ages 4-5 who are interested in horses and riding. These lessons take place using either a lead line or longe line (at the instructors discretion). The aim of this program is to provide small children, not old enough for formal lessons, to develop a comfort level around horses. Lessons consist of games, obstacles courses, and other fun activities on horseback.
