Lessons

"There is no secret so close as that between a rider and his horse."
Robert Smith Surtees

About Our Program

Assessment and Orientation

  • An assessment lesson may be held if you have ridden English in a formalized setting before, otherwise you will start as a beginner rider.  Assessment lessons are $65.
  • If you are a beginner rider, your first lesson is FREE! Come check us out - we would love to have you!
  • All students will complete a non-riding orientation before commencing their riding lessons. Orientation is the first lesson of the first session taken and may be held with other new students.

Private and Group Lessons

  • All students will take at least one month of private lessons, regardless of experience. This is necessary to familiarize yourself with the horses, barn, the instructor and rules of the facility. Regular private lessons are 30 minutes and are $200 for four lessons.
  • Once a student has achieved a skill level that enables him or her to ride independently off of the lunge line, he or she will be placed in a group lesson. Group lessons are one hour and are $180 for four lessons.
  • All lessons must be taken within the month paid for. Lessons will not carry over into the next month.
  • Lesson sessions begin on the first of every month.
  • Lessons may also be purchased individually at a rate of $50 per half hour private lesson, $65 per 45 min private lesson, $75 per hour private lesson and $45 per group lesson.
  • Discounted lesson packages may be purchased at a rate of $540 for three months of 1/2 hour private lessons or $486 for three months of group lessons.

Age Requirements and Attire/Equipment

  • A child should be at least 7 years old to be considered for lessons, although younger students may be considered on an individual basis and with an assessment lesson. Adult students are accepted.
  • Students are required to purchase jodphur pants and paddock boots if under 12 years of age. Students older than 12 may purchase breeches and tall boots if they so choose.
  • Half chaps with jodphur pants or breeches are acceptable. Shorts and/or jeans with full chaps are not acceptable attire for lessons.
  • All students must purchase an ASTM/SEI approved helmet, regardless of age.

Time Involved

At Abingdon Park each student will learn horsemanship as well as riding.  A period of 30 minutes both before and after your actual riding lesson is required in order to properly take care of your horse and equipment.
