At Mountain View Equestrian, we are dedicated to providing top-notch horse riding education at affordable prices. Our mission is to foster a love for riding while ensuring the safety and well-being of both horses and riders. At Mountain View Equestrian, we believe that horses have the power to teach us far more than just how to ride—they help us grow in confidence, patience, responsibility, and connection. Our program is built on the foundation of respect: respect for the horse, for ourselves, and for each other.
We aim to create a welcoming, down-to-earth environment where riders of all ages can safely learn, explore, and fall in love with the Western lifestyle. Whether you're here for your very first ride or continuing your riding journey, every rider is met with encouragement and care.
Our lessons are all taught by a knowledgeable and passionate teenage who brings years of hands-on experience and a genuine love for horses. She serves as a relatable, enthusiastic mentor and helps create a fun and encouraging learning environment.
We believe learning to ride should be fun, hands-on, and heart-driven. That’s why our lessons and events go beyond the saddle—we teach grooming, groundwork, horsemanship, and the day-to-day realities of life with horses.
Private lessons are 50 dollars and one hour long! They focus on individual growth for the rider! These lessons begin with saddling and grooming the horse and then riding. The lesson will finish with unsaddling and putting away the horse. Our private lessons are focused on teaching riders to be confident, strong, independent, and adventurous riders and people. We know that horseback riding is not only a hobby but a way to grow the whole person.
We offer shorter thirty minute horse riding lessons for younger students who may not be able to sit for as long to enjoy the lesson. These lessons are suggested for riders under 5 years old. However, some students this age prefer to do full hour horseback riding lessons. These lessons begin with grooming and saddling the horse and then riding. Unsaddling and putting the horse away concludes the lesson. Beginning to ride at a young age sets children up for endless success in the future.
Kids group lessons are offered for an hour and a half on Thursday nights from 6-7:30. They are open to kids ages 3-8 and they are lessons with one horse where the children are given a chance to learn to hand walk and ride on a horse all together. We will teach a skill and then let each kid take a turn riding. This is a super fun opportunity for your younger children to get involved with horses. Your child may attend one session or the weekly session. These happen most weeks.
These lessons involve two children riding at the same time. This is perfect if you have multiple children or if you have a child who would like to learn to ride with their friend. These lessons, like our private lessons, focus on growth in riding and allowing the children to become comfortable and happy in the saddle. These lessons are 30 dollars for each student or 60 dollars total!
We offer horse birthday parties and events by request. These can be fun ways for children to get to spend time with horses outside of horseback riding lessons. We only have space for up to twelve children at any given event. Please contact us if you have any questions or would like to plan an event. A basic event includes short horse grooming, horse riding, horse games, and horse crafts. Please contact us for prices for any other event or party type.
Mountain View Equestrian will occasionally offer camps for children to get to spend more time riding and spending time with horses while learning more about horse care. Dates for this summer's camps are June 23-24 and July 15-16. Please visit the summer camp page for more information!
We occasionally offer horse clinics to the community based on interest. These will focus on horse care and knowledge. Please contact us if you are interested so we can schedule a clinic. We need at least five interested clients to host a clinic!
To sign up, please email, text, or call us and include your child's name, age, and skill level!
If you have questions about the opportunities available in our programs, feel free to send us a message. We will get back to you as soon as possible.
