FAQs

Do riders need experience?

No. The beginner lesson path is built for new riders, including kids, families, and adult first-time riders.

Why are lessons bareback?

Bareback riding helps riders feel balance, seat, mindset, and small movements before they depend on a saddle or stirrups.

Can families book more than one rider?

Yes. Lessons are set up for small groups. Inquire about lessons to discuss availability for your family.

How much is the beginner start?

Plan on $180 per rider for the 4-lesson beginner start. That is four 30-minute lessons at $45 each, paid in full before the first lesson.

What should riders wear?

Wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. The ranch will confirm any extra arrival details before the first lesson.

How does horse training payment work?

Horse training is set up directly after contact. The base price is $1600 per month, with feed extras negotiated directly if the horse needs more than pasture grass and water.

Training and finishing

The horse is boarded on the ranch's 35-acre pasture with grass and water. If the owner wants grain or feed beyond pasture, the added grain cost and extra daily feeding time are negotiated directly.

$1600/monthBase training price
  • Untouched horse breaking
  • Green horse training
  • Horse finishing
