Lessons
We believe above all....safety comes first! Every student, boarder, leaser and trainer are required to wear an astm-sei certified helmet (provided at facility), long pants and proper heeled boots. Ivy rock believes that riders of all abilities and disciplines achieve the greatest benefits from the consistency in their lessons. We provide professional and qualified instructors, volunteers and horses for our riders. We serve a significant number of riders each week, and take great efforts to find time slots that best meet their needs. As a result, we ask all our riders to make a commitment to attend their lessons for each session that they enroll in and follow the general lesson policies of the stable.
Ivy rock's lesson program is designed for individuals of all ages, wanting to learn and further develop their horsemanship skills in environment that is safe, comfortable and supportive. While you can ride daily or once a month, the majority of students attend a private or group lesson once a week. The lesson develops at a pace tailored for the rider(s) and teach a broad range of equitation skills from the basics of all 3 gaits, to beginning techniques of western horsemanship, trail, jumping, dressage, driving, or pleasure. Students ride a wide assortment of horses of different breeds, so they become familiar with and understand the differences each new mount presents. Included with the horsemanship skills acquired, students are encouraged to learn how to bathe and clip horses, clean and care for tack, and for more advanced students longe horses. We do offer trail lessons and gaming lessons to break the routine of regular lessons. As with any riding program there can be height and weight restrictions depending on type of lesson, rider ability and horse availability.
We also offer therapeutic lessons throughout the year. Our certified instructor is available for individual lessons.
