The Instructor focuses on safely while the student
learns how to groom and tack up the pony.
Then we go in the arena and ride for about 20 mins.
Each child is dierent. We wont stress our little ones
out so we gauge the riding time to what each needs.
Some kids can ride and participate the entire time
Some get intimidated and would rather walk around
with the horse for a while. We want to build their
Our wonderful Little Britches
confidence, not force them. We try and keep them Instructor Miss Kelsi
engaged with the horse for 20 mins riding or walking
the pony. Then we bring the horse back in, 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.

Summer Leasing June - August
Come ride as much as you want
all Summer Long!!
Many horses are already claimed 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.
Full Private lease ($350 per month plus all vet, shoeing and other necessary expenses a month)
In this agreement the lessee is totally responsible for the horse. That includes but is not limited to :
Board, feed, supplements, health and veterinary care, shoeing, and training.
This is just like having a horse and all the responsibilities but with out actually purchasing the horse and the
owner or lessee can terminate the lease at any time.
The lessee can come out and ride, trail ride, and work with the horse at any time.

not using the horse for lessons.
This is just like having a horse and almost all responsibilities but with out actually purchasing the horse. It is
