PreSchool Horseback Riding

Young Rider's Program

ABOUT:
We are offer a Young Riders horseback riding program where your child will experience first hand riding instruction. We suit our instruction to each child and keep things easy, basic - and at their level. And fun! Our primary focus for the youngest riders is establishing balance while riding and gaining self confidence. As they grow, so do the lessons. We move into establishing a strong voice to command their steed to listen and empowers them that their voice can be heard. We work on good hands and seat - both extremely important skills for riding as well as life.

We limit the lesson for ages 3-5 to our short 15 minute space (the younger ones just don't understand saddling or bridling). Ages 5 (or so), up to 7 can do our half hour riding which will include a little about horses and horsemanship and at about age 8 we move them up to full riding lessons which include instruction in saddling & bridling as well as grooming.

COSTS:
15 minute lessons, $15. Riding time is typically about 12 minutes.
30 minute lessons, $30. Riding time is typically about 25 minutes.
60 minute lessons, $45. Riding time is typically about 25-30 minutes and 20-25 minutes of horsemanship instruction (50 total).

We have some loaner helmets for your first ride, but you must provide some sort of boots for your child. Please note: we do NOT use chemical sprays in between children using helmets. It's not good for our environment or our children. Rubber boots are fine but must be well fitted and have a minimum of 1/2 inch heel to them.

Affordable helmets and boots can be found at Olson's in Bellevue.
