Little Breaches Lessons: We have a Little
Britches program for 5 and under. It is one on one
time with the Instructor and the horse. The
Instructor focuses on safely while the student learns
how to groom and tack up the pony. Then we go out
in the arena and ride for about 20 mins. Each child is
dierent and we dont want to stress the younger ones
out so we gauge the riding time to what their needs
are. Some kids can ride and participate the entire
time some get intimidated and would rather walk
Our wonderful Little Britches
around with the horse for a while. We want to build
Instructor Miss Kelsi
confidence not force them to do it. We try and keep
them engaged with the horse for 20 mins if that is riding
or walking the pony. Then we bring the horse back in and untack and learn how to
properly put our pony up. The entire lesson should run about 30 mins however we
often run over ! So plan on at least an hour here. Cost is $25.00.

Please Contact Betsy (520)907-3965 or Kelsi (520)405-3471

Summer Leasing June through

August Come ride as much as you
want all Summer Long!!
Many horses are already clammed for the summer Please let
Betsyknow if you want to lease a horse there are a few left!
There are many advantages of leasing a horse. One reason to lease a horse instead
of buy one is that leasing allows you to experience the joys and responsibilities of
horse ownership without the long term obligation.

Leasing a horse allows horse enthusiasts to experience the delight and responsibility
of having a horse without the large initial investment. Leasing can be an excellent
prerequisite if you're seriously considering purchasing a horse.
"Horse ownership is a serious commitment of time, as well as money. By leasing,
one is able to determine if they can make the commitment," says Sandy Arledge,
American Quarter Horse Association professional horse trainer.

From June through August please come and help the horses through the summer months. We close
down lessons however our horses still need to eat ! For a special price you get the experience of
horse ownership with out the commitment ! You need to be checked out by Betsy before leasing
then you can have full access to your own horse for two months. Come ride as much as you want
for one price for the Summer !!
