The 4 sessions need to be completed within a 5 week period. There is no beginning class so one can join any available class. Class sessions are 45 minutes long. Students will get on their horse and ride to the Eastern field, about ten minutes ride, so the instruction will start at approximately 8:45 a.m. and last until 9:30 a.m.
Safety helmets and boots are required in the classes. New helmets and boots can be purchased online at Stateline Tack
The students learn how to adjust equipment, how to control the horse at the walk, jog, posting trot and eventually, the canter. After learning the basics the focus is on the transitions between gaits. The classes are not taught in a ring (corral). The students ride on the trail in an open field.
The classes have students of varying abilities, everyone learns at their own pace. Each student’s needs are considered when selecting the horse for them to ride. There are two teachers for each student, the instructor and the horse. Each horse will teach the rider something different.
