0070 HORSEBACK RIDING, BEGINNING

Class 0070Here's your chance to learn to ride or improve your riding skills. The classes are taught in spacious indoor arenas by patient, experienced instructors. The horses have good dispositions & are experienced & predictable--perfect for beginners or experienced riders. You'll learn basic horsemanship including equipment, handling the horse on the ground, tacking, mounting & the fundamentals of control while in the saddle. Once mounted, you'll learn to walk, halt & turn the horse. Trotting, posting trot & putting the horse through a series of maneuvers at a walk & trot will also be taught. By the end of the class, students should feel comfortable with a horse & know the basics of handling & riding. If you've always wanted to learn to ride a horse, but never had the time or been close enough to a stable, this is your chance. The classes are small so you get individual attention. Wear loose fitting pants & hard shoes with heels. Arrive early to 1st class. Approx. 40 minutes from City. Map & directions furnished upon registration.
