Western Horsemanship Lessons

B’N’R Stables is dedicated to providing western horsemanship lessons in a fun, safe environment, with quality instruction to develop the overall horsemanship skills of all our students. Our goal is to provide the most comprehensive horsemanship program we can and to make the most of your commitment to riding and love of horses! Programs are offered in sessions throughout the year (Winter, Spring, July, August and Fall). Lessons focus on western riding and horse handling skills. Ages 5 and up (including adults).

Our horsemanship program provides:

• Instruction on proper grooming, saddling and ground work providing students with the knowledge and ability to not only ride but handle and prepare the horses themselves. 
• 1:1 instruction for beginners/those with special needs.  We want to create a solid foundation for your horsemanship skills and believe that private lessons are the best way to get you started.  Private lessons will enable our instructors to meet the individual needs of each student and provide more intensive training.  Beginner lessons are 45 minutes.
• Small class sizes (max 4).  Students will move into group lessons once they are able to groom, tack and ride independently with control at the walk and jog (rider level 2).    Group lessons are one hour.
• Quiet, reliable, well-trained horses – the ideal mounts for maximum safety allowing students to gain confidence and learn new skills from beginner to advanced levels.
• Education on how to understand and effectively communicate with horses – an important aspect to improve safety and connection with horses.
• A level horsemanship program that includes educational booklets, testing and certification for students, providing additional learning and goal setting options.  
• Friendly, knowledgeable, professional instructors and assistants to make your riding experience safe, educational and fun!
• Available for ages 5 to adult and those with special needs are welcome.
