RIDER INFO

LESSONS:

Lessons are a half hour long. Students should arrive 30 minutes prior to the start of the lesson to get and tack up their horse. Time to warm up  and practice is allowed before the lesson begins. The average time a student spends at Cedar Ridge for their lesson is 1.5 hours. 

PRIVATE LESSONS:

Private lessons are offered on request. Rates are determined by the instructor. 

WHAT TO WEAR:

All students are required to wear an ASTM/SEI certified riding helmet, shoes with a heal and appropriate clothing. We have approved riding helmets available to borrow, however we strongly encourage each student to obtain their own riding helmet. 

 

REQUIREMENTS

AGE:

There is no set age requirement for starting lessons as long as the child has basic communication skills and motor skills. However, our experience shows that children over 6 years of age are more equipped to keep interest in riding and horse care.
