Riding lessons
are the
foundation of our educational programs at HFA. We offer classes in
dressage, hunt seat/jumping, and western styles. Lessons are offered
in the following formats for both children and adults:
·
Semi-privates -- (60
minutes).
·
Privates -- one student
(30 minutes or 60 minutes or 90 minutes).
The Horsemanship Class . . .
is required for all HFA students, regardless of their previous
experience. We believe that all students should know--and
practice--standard
safety rules
for working around horses, which includes how to approach and halter
a horse in the stall as well as how to lead, groom, saddle and
bridle a horse.
Our Special Programs . . .
provide opportunities for our students to participate in
educational or social clubs, specialized training programs and
riding camps.
Real
Party Animal Birthday Parties.
Celebrate your birthday at HFA with real, live party animals
-- horses, of course! Our birthday parties are offered on Sundays
from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m. and include festive decorations, a riding
lesson and a horsemanship lesson.
Horse Merit Badge.
Earn Your "Horse Lovers" Merit Badge at HFA with our two-hour lesson
and hands-on horsemanship class.
Our Sales Program . . .
is designed to provide professional advise to students who are
interested in buying a horse. Many of our school horses are for sale
or we can scout for the right horse to fit riding goals and budgets.
Buying a horse is a serious investment --let our trainers help you
make an informed decision.
Class levels . . .
provide a sequential order of riding classes based on our systematic
approach to teaching riding. As our students achieve the skills
required for each level, they progress from one class to the next in
their chosen discipline.
Students who are not experienced riders usually start with the
Beginning Sequence of classes (Introduction to Riding, Beginning and
Advanced Beginning classes). Students may ride Western or English
style in these classes. After achieving Advanced Beginner skills,
students then choose which discipline of riding to pursue--Hunt
Seat, Dressage or Western--and follow the sequence of classes for
that discipline. Advanced level classes usually include Show
Preparation for students who are serious about participating in AHSA
rated horse shows.*Note: All lessons expire 60 days from date of
purchase. Prices are subject to change. Please contact our office
for the most current prices and schedules.
