When you pay for a riding lesson, you are investing in the ongoing care and safety of the horse, not just the time you spend riding. Horses require daily feeding, clean water, stall and pasture maintenance, regular exercise, and constant hands-on care. In addition, they must receive routine veterinary visits, farrier services, and proper conditioning to remain healthy, comfortable, and safe for riders. These essential costs continue every day, regardless of how often a rider attends lessons.
Lesson fees also help cover the upkeep of facilities and tack, as well as the training and experience of the instructor. Providing safe, reliable lesson horses and a well-maintained learning environment requires significant and continuous expense. While we are committed to keeping our lessons as affordable as possible, our pricing must reflect the true cost of responsible horse care. We will never compromise the health of our horses or the safety of our riders, and your lesson fees play a direct role in making that level of care possible.
