Parent & Me Children's Lessons

​​For children ages 5 to 8 and their parents or guardians. Children and their parents attend weekly 1-hour sessions with a riding instructor and learn the basics of grooming, tack-up and riding. Guided by a coach, parents lead children on the horses through fun patterns, obstacles and games to help children (and their parents) learn the basics of riding and build confidence around horses. Perfect set-up for little ones!
