THE ASSESSMENT

Personalized first lesson for new riders

New riders cannot go straight to group lessons — each starts with an individual assessment private lesson so instructors can place students in the group that best matches their needs.

THE GROUP

Dynamic, social sessions

A large variety of group lessons are offered and are developed to match clients’ needs; being in a group allows riders to learn from each other and makes riding a social activity.

THE SETTING

Structured progression and camaraderie

Lessons emphasize camaraderie and growth through riding together in a supportive environment while instructors organize groups to best match participants.
