| Lessons |
| Great Meadow Farms is proud to offer a lesson program in our new 160 x 80 indoor arena. Students will be able to enjoy a versatile lesson program year-round! Surrounding the indoor are miles of trails which students can have access to as training progresses. |
| Lessons available for: * English * Western * Barrel racing and games * Driving * Trails * Trailer driving |
| Opportunities include: * Reduced prices on horse purchases and leasing * Local showing * Working student positions * Other farm related skills * Riding on many different horses, not just school horses |
| Our Goal for Students: Our goal is simple, to teach students how to ride any horse that comes into their lives. Very often people find themselves with horses out of their skill level, or would like to ride horses they feel are "too much" for them to handle. We want to teach you how to handle those horses and make them work for you. We will take in students who have never ridden before and give them a solid, confident foundation, or we will help improve the skills of riders who already know how to ride. Lessons given on our horses or yours. We don't want students learning only how to ride at horse shows, our goal is to teach students how to ride their horses through everyday situations! Once a student has mastered basic skills they can move onto showing or recreational riding. Being offered a variety of different riding styles will promote a better understanding of horses and better horsemanship. |
| Rates: $30 half an hour $45 hour |
