Saddle up and experience the joy of western riding at Mountain View Equestrian, where lessons are thoughtfully built for every level — beginner to seasoned. To ensure a safe, enjoyable ride, all participants must wear a helmet, long pants, and closed-toe shoes, and bring a printed and signed liability form to their first lesson. Full lesson payment is due before your arrival. Please be sure to read our barn rules before your first lesson!

Private lessons are 60 minutes long and they focus on you or your child's needs and goals. With the one on one instruction, each lesson can be tailored to the client's skill level and experience. We begin each lesson with grooming and saddling the horse - getting to know and be responsible for the animal we are asking to work for us. Then, we enjoy riding time before finishing off the lesson with unsaddling and putting away our trusty steed. Private lessons are both fun and productive for all!
Semi-private lessons are very similar to our private lessons. They are 60 minutes long; include grooming, saddling, riding, and unsaddling; and focus on the goals and wants of the clients. However, semi-private lessons are a bit different in the best of ways! They are for a pair of riders. Whether it is two siblings wanting to learn to ride together or best friends who've wanted to get on a horse forever, we are prepared to welcome you both. Look no further for you and your bestie's new hobby!

Youth lessons are a bit different from both privates and semi-private lessons. They are made for our little cowgirls and cowboys who may not yet have the focus needed to ride for a full hour. Instead, these youth lessons are half an hour. They still include grooming, saddling, riding, unsaddling, and other interaction with the horse, but they allow for this in a bit of a shortened time period. If your kiddo is little and gets distracted easily, you've found your match!

Need a bit of help with your horse or your riding when you already own your own steed? Don't we all? Lessons when you own your horse are not only nice; they're often essential. Here at Mountain View Equestrian, we want to offer the resources needed to help you and your horse succeed. For on-your-own-horse lessons, we travel to you and do the same as we would in a normal private or semi-private lesson. Don't know quite what you're looking for or need? Shoot us a message!

We all love riding around an arena, the wind blowing in our hair. But is that really all that horses are about? Can we truly call ourselves horsemen and horsewomen if we can not care for and know about horses aside from riding? At Mountain View Equestrian, we believe the answer to that question is no. That's why we offer non-riding weekly, hour-long sessions where we teach you to be a more well-rounded horse person!

Give the gift of the ride. Whether it's a birthday, holiday, or just-because moment, a gift certificate for riding lessons is the kind of present that truly stands out. Choose any amount, and we'll create a beautifully designed certificate personalized for the occasion — all set to unwrap and unforgettable from the first lesson on.
