Lessons
Catering to riders of all ages starting at age 5. Their focus is making sure that the riders learn a solid foundation of basics and become confident and capable both in and out of the saddle. Lessons generally last 45 minutes, but are tailored to each horse and riders needs and goals. A student's assigned lesson time is the time that Stephanie plans to actually start your ride, so come at least 15-20 min before your scheduled lesson time. After the lesson, you will be responsible for taking care of your horse by untacking, grooming and putting your horse and tack away. Plan for your total time at the barn to be around 1 1/2 hours including horse care before and after your ride.
The majority of the lessons are taught privately so that each rider gets quality one-on-one instruction. Silver Lining also offers Semi-Private lessons (2 riders per group) to students who are interested. To participate in a semi-private lesson, you must have at least 6 months riding experience and be able to control your horse on your own and demonstrate good position at the walk and trot.
