Horseback Riding Lessons for Children
A Chance to Live a Dream
Children seem to be born with an innate love of horses.
The heart of our riding lessons is in the wonderful staff at Rivendell Farm and the variety of horses available to fit every skill level and every child’s dream of what riding can be. We are passionate about horses and look forward to sharing our love of this incredible animal with new and experienced riders alike.
We not only teach your child to ride but to also respect and care for the horse and help them to develop a bond of friendship that will last a lifetime. From the beginning all the way up to the show ring, we offer instruction at every level and help your child achieve their own personal goal.
Our program is comprehensive; we teach your child all aspects of horsemanship from the ground up.
- We can provide a lesson with one of our own well-mannered horses.
- Can teach you on your own horse.
