Classes for 4 & 5 year olds are taught one-on-one on weekday mornings only.  It is only recommended for children that have a big desire to learn to ride.  Children are taught basic position and control of the pony.  These lessons are offered only during the fall and the spring when the weather is at its best.

Classes for adults are very limited.  The weight limit is preferred to be less than 160 lbs.  They are taught either in private or semi-private lessons.  Weekday mornings are the best times for these lessons since it is less busy at that time.  Beginner Adult lessons are best started as private.  Weekday mornings are the best times however during the Spring and Fall we can fit in Weekday evenings.  Adult lessons can be geared towards recreational riding or advancing in knowledge and skills.

Only Experienced Riders from Shady Lawn are invited.

Saturday Riding Club is held every Saturday from 9:00 – 5:30. 

 It is geared towards experienced riders (minimum age of 9) who wish to learn higher level riding techniques in both English & Western riding as well as to work around the horses all day and learn more about the care of horses. 

The kids help clean stalls, feed, water, and prepare the horses to ride.  They also help the lower level students learn about riding and grooming the horses. 

 At the end of the day they ride in a variety of styles and activities. 

  Responsibility is a key part of Riding Club.  Kids that have gone through 2 years of Riding Club consistently are very ready to be a responsible horse owner!
