My children are older, but they were a little nervous since they had little to no experience with horses, but the staff gave them instructions and they soon felt comfortable.
Darla, our instructor and guide, was kind, patient, and knowledgeable—she made us feel completely at ease, even though it was my boyfriend’s and my very first time riding.

Easy for beginners and Erik is exactly the man you want teaching you or your kids about horses.
Some of them had never been on a horse before and this was their first time.
Whether a child was a first-time rider or more confident around animals, the team ensured everyone felt included and at ease.
Her camps are amazing, with hands on activities that teach you enough to have a first time rider cantering by the end of the week.

Beginner checklist
- Wear long pants and boots with a small heel. Flat sneakers can slip through a stirrup, and shorts let the saddle rub.
- Ask about helmets. Many stables lend riding helmets. Ask whether they have one that fits, or bring your own riding helmet.
- Tell them you are new. It gets you the right horse and the right pace.
