Riding Pathway

Riders will begin with the New Rider Special (see details below). After completing this introductory phase, athletes will choose a riding-frequency membership. Please note that riding twice per week is mandatory for progressing to cantering and jumping activities, as consistent practice is essential for rider development. For those pursuing competition training, riders are required to ride 3–4 times per week. Please inquire regarding horse leases and sales.
