BE SURE TO READ THE INFORMATION ON OUR CAMPS PAGE TOO!
At Leap of Faith Farms we offer a comprehensive, in-depth approach to teaching riding lessons.
- Our horses are all carefully selected, quality animals who receive top-notch care and feeding, and our instructors are hand-picked experts who have a wealth of experience and information to share with you. - Our hope is that you will not simply learn to ride, but that you will gain actual horsemanship through your experience here.
We begin lessons at five years of age, and teach all levels of adult riders. There is a maximum weight limit of 225 lbs for adult riders.
All riding lessons are $75; you can pre-pay for a package of 10 for $700. The $75 applies to private, semi-private, or group lessons equally. Private lessons will generally last 30-45 minutes, while semi-private and groups generally last 45-60 minutes. The length of the lesson will vary depending upon rider stamina and experience level, as well as the successful conclusion of the day’s objectives.
Well-rounded students need to experience a variety of horses and teachers in order to develop into the best possible riders. Riders may not demand particular horses or particular instructors, nor can they ask for only private lessons. While we can try to accommodate requests, the only way to guarantee a particular horse or a particular teacher is to purchase your own horse and graduate into full training. Please let us know when you are ready to consider this step and we will gladly help you find the best first horse for you!
Students are expected to arrive 15-20 minutes before their assigned lesson time and remain afterwards an additional 15-20 minutes in order to groom and care for their horse, saddle & bridle them, and clean and put away tack. Beginners will initially be assisted, but after they have learned they will be expected to do this on their own every time they ride. Students should never mount the horse until their instructor checks the horse’s tack first! Students
MUST give 24 hours advance notice to cancel or change a scheduled
lesson time, or they will be charged the full regular lesson fee. Horses
need to be properly prepared well in advance of lessons, and last
minute cancellations or no-shows have still had horses prepared in
anticipation of their arrival.
