Our Riding School provides quality Hunt Seat Riding Instruction at all levels. Lessons emphasize learning to ride by building a strong foundation.
Our qualified riding instructors teach the basics of horsemanship through fun and rewarding exercises.
Students learn the necessary skills to care for their lesson horse, including: grooming, handling, tacking up and basic horse care.
Our Riding School offers accelerated programs for students focusing on specific goals, as well as programs that let students develop their skills in a more leisurely manner. Students are encouraged to participate in horse shows and clinics. Leasing is available on an individual basis.
ADDITIONAL ACTIVIES & PROGRAMS
Our Riding School students are encouraged to participate in many activities offered by the ranch including: horse shows, clinics, barbecues, day and summer camps, as well as lease programs.
When the time comes, we can assist students with the purchase of their first horse. We also help students make the transition into our Full Training and Showing programs.
Please call the office to schedule a tour, lesson or to answer any further questions you might have on our Riding School.

HORSEMANSHIP CLINIC
Every new riding school student is required to take one horsemanship clinic to learn our grooming, tacking and un-tacking procedures. The cost is $40.00 for the first clinic and $10.00 for each repeat of the clinic.
PROPER GROOMING
There is a $50.00 charge for any horse put away without being groomed, cooled properly or put away with sweat marks.
CANCELLATIONS
Weekday Lessons
We require 24 hours advance notice to cancel a weekday lesson. If you are unable to give us 24 hours notice to cancel your lesson and we are unable to fill your slot, you will be charged full price for your lesson.
Weekend Lessons
Saturdays and Sunday: 24-hour notice required to avoid full charge for lesson.
Note
We will always try to put another rider in your place if you cancel. This is why we need the advance notice. When you are unable to give us advance notice (as requested above) the chance of us finding another rider to replace you is time consuming and difficult. Often we lose the opportunity to fill your slot and the income from that lesson. If that occurs, we need to charge you for your lesson. If you have any questions, feel free to call Candise Pipkin at (626) 334-9480, Monday through Friday, 9:00a.m. – 4:00 p.m.
