Lessons

Types of Lessons

Saddlebrook Equestrian Center offers both English and Western lessons for all levels starting at an average age of five with Lead Line classes on up to adults. Lessons are broken down into four levels (Private Lead Line, Beginner, Intermediate and Advanced). We offer one hour Semi-Private Lessons that accommodate up to three riders and one hour Private Lessons that accommodate a single student. For the youngsters who aren’t able to ride on their own, we offer thirty-minute Private Lead Line lessons. All lessons focus on total horsemanship and include proper grooming, tacking and care for the horse, as well as time riding. The Lesson hour starts with grooming and tacking up the horse and the Lesson finishes as the rider is dismounting. It is the rider’s responsibility to un-tack and groom or bath the horse after the Lesson is over. At Saddlebrook, we teach our students all the necessary fundamentals of horsemanship that in turn teaches respect, responsibility and understanding of the horse. All students must sign release forms and be paid in full for the month before beginning lessons.

 

English

All English lessons are geared towards the Hunt Seat rider and prepare students for basic jumping, riding courses, showing or just enjoying time in the saddle. All instructors teach fundamental dressage that builds balance and improves confidence with the student’s flatwork before moving on to jumping.

 

Western

Our Western program offers students a chance to learn basic Western Pleasure equitation and balance that prepares the student for further Western activities such as trail riding and showing or more advanced events such as barrel racing and pole bending.
