Our riding lesson program is offered to children and adults from beginner to intermediate levels of skill. We offer English and Western lessons with a high standard of safety and professionalism. We believe in using the Natural Horsemanship approach which teaches the individual to use kindness, learn to read the horses behavior and gain leadership skills to have a positive experience with such a large animal.
Our instructors are upbeat, progressive and teach a logical style of classical riding techniques. We strive to make each lesson fun and safe for all students.
Horseback riding lessons introduce students to the following:
General responsibilities of owning a horse; developing safe handling skills of horses
Developing the equestrian knowledge, skills and coordination to "tell a horse what to do"
Develop leadership skills that can transfer over to real life situations
Some people might think it doesn't take much skill to ride a horse. It all depends upon how much an individual wants to get out of the experience of riding a horse. The more a rider continues to learn, the more they realize that horse lessons can help them develop courage yet compassion, sensitivity yet assertiveness. Riding lessons can help individuals to learn a lot about himself and how to become more effective in life in general.

I have taken riding lessons at HHR for over three years and I have learned so much. It's a great place and I love it!

"Our daughter Sydney started riding lessons 3 years ago at HHR and it has been the greatest connection she has ever made. Sydney's passion for horses has doubled with her time at the ranch; she has grown in her riding ability, comfort level with the horses and most importantly in her own self confidence. This confidence flows over into other areas in her life as well and for that, we are so thankful for Lisa and her horses." Steve and Holly
