PROGRAMS & RATES

WEEKLY RIDING LESSONS

Semester: $220 +hst/month

Individual Month Basis: $260 +hst/month

Our riding lesson program runs year-round, with a semester/term commitment. This provides consistent opportunity to improve and truly develop your riding skills. Lessons reoccur once weekly at the same date and time.

_______________________________

Winter Semester - January, February, March, April (16 weeks/lessons)

Spring/Summer Semester - May, June, July, August (16 weeks/lessons)

Fall Semester - September, October, November, December (16 weeks/lessons)

_______________________________

Semester monthly price is $220 +hst/month (this includes 1 lesson a week), and requires a $50 deposit at registration (the deposit goes towards the last month's fees if you commit for the entire semester).

If you do not commit to a semester, the monthly rate is $260 +hst/month, and does not always guarantee a spot for the month after.


*Note: there is 1 shutdown week/period per semester; as 1 month out of the 4 months will have a "5th week" - for example, 1 of the 4, will have "5 Mondays" in the month. Instead of charging for the extra lesson, there will be a "shut down week" per semester to allow other barn activities, maintenance, a break for our horses, etc. These weeks will be predetermined and sent out in the Registration Package upon registering.

Add ons/Specials:

  • Add a second weekly lesson for only $200 +hst/month when enrolled in a semester (this works towards siblings as well!)

  • Save 10% on semester fees if paid for upfront (Regular Semester = $880). Price after savings = $792 +hst (no deposit required)

Details:

Our lesson program teaches students all about horses - not just riding! Students will learn how to groom and tack up their horse, how to care for them, and the fundamental riding skills to become an effective and correct rider. We create all-around horse people!


For new riders - or those new to our program - lessons consist of an “in-barn” portion (where they learn how to handle, groom, and tack up the horse for riding) as well as a riding portion. As students become independent with getting their horse ready, then the lesson time will be fully dedicated to riding.


After their lesson time, riders are expected to clean up after themselves - this includes cleaning and putting their tack/equipment away, and sweeping up. We are a community focused barn, and everyone is responsible to keeping the place tidy for the health and safety of the horses and each other.

Lesson Types:
Group Lessons
​: 3-5 riders of similar ages and skill levels. 1 hour in length.

Semi-Private Lessons: maximum of 2 riders of similar age/skill level. 45 minutes in length.

Private Lessons: Individual, private lesson. 30 minutes in length.

INTRODUCTORY OR ASSESSMENT LESSONS

$65/lesson

If you would like to try out a lesson before committing to a full program, schedule an introductory or assessment lesson. This private lesson is 45 minutes in length.

Introductory Lesson:

For new-comers to the sport, it is a great opportunity to try out riding before enrolling in our weekly lesson program. You will learn the basics of getting your horse ready to ride, as well as some basic riding skills. 

Assessment Lesson:

if you have riding experience, but want to try out our program, we provide 1 time assessment lessons. During this time, we will discuss what your current level is, what your goals are, and you can get a feel for our coaching styles and approach.

FULL, PART, AND QUARTER BOARDING

Full Board, Part-Boarding & Co-Boarding

Looking for more time in the saddle? Want a “feel” for horse ownership without the full commitment? Check out our Part Board and Quarter Board options!


Quarter-Board = 1 weekly lesson, 1 practice ride/week (Add $160+hst/month to lesson fees = $380+hst/month)


Part-Board = 1 lesson/week, 2 practice rides /week (Add $320+hst/month to lesson fees = $540+hst/month)
