The trail rides were not too difficult, and we even got extra lessons to learn how to trot and cantor which came in handy on the last couple of trail rides.

Questions to ask a lesson barn

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