Lessons

Suitable for any age to begin learning about horses and riding, beginning with the basics. Double H Farm prefers students be a minimum 6 years of age to begin riding. For more experienced riders, a great opportunity to improve upon current skills and learn true western riding.

Safety and functionality is the cornerstone of all lessons.

The 4 C's of Horsemanship and Riding

Comfort
As you learn to control your own body and teach it to ride with the correct posture and a good seat, you will become comfortable in the saddle. It takes time and effort to develop this comfort, sometimes the most difficult part, but once accomplished you will begin to communicate with your horse.

Communication
To truly communicate with your horse, you need to cue him correctly. Since you are comfortable, and thus relaxed with a posture of purpose, you will give him proper messages and not confuse him with incorrect signals.

Control
When you begin to effectively communicate with your horse, you will begin to experience control over your horse. Because you are first in control of your own body and riding comfortably, you can communicate to your horse specifically what you want, and then ultimately be in control of him with out harsh aids or confusion.

Confidence
With comfort, communication and control, you will enjoy and reap the benefits of confidence. With increased confidence, you will ride even better and your interest will grow. You will have accomplished a huge step in your horsemanship. And with building confidence, you will become more comfortable, communicate better and feel that gentle control of your horse that you've been striving for. Your horse will ride better and you will experience success in the saddle.

Lessons are approximately 45-60 minutes, using gentle ranch horses in an indoor arena as well as progressing to our outdoor arena. Lessons begin with brushing your horse, tacking up and ending with untacking and brushing. All lessons are payable day of the lesson.
