I had been out of the saddle for a while and kept making excuses for not just scheduling my lesson.

Chasing Laurels - Riding Lessons , Horse Boarding , & Training
The only thing I was a little sad about what the amount of time the girls got to ride, since our troop has done a lesson in the past they wanted a little bit more ride time.
If you're looking for boarding, lessons, camp or birthday parties in the Ames area, you won't go wrong with SCS.

We are excited to bring our family here again for some lessons and to horseback ride ourselves :).
The stable's website says so too.
The staff gave us a lesson before we got started, and the horses generally just follow the leader, so you don’t have to worry too much about controlling the horse.
Take advantage of lessons taught by experienced trainers, trail rides through Waterworks Park, Fox and Hound and about every type of competition imaginable.

Questions to ask a lesson barn
- Who would teach me? Ask how long the instructor has taught and which riders they usually work with.
- Private or group? Ask how many riders are in a lesson and what level they ride at.
- English or Western? Ask which style the barn teaches, and whether you can try both.
