Frequently Asked Questions
-
All new students begin with one private evaluation lesson before joining a group class, based on the trainer’s recommendation. Group classes are organized by age and skill level.
Please note: Lesson spots may have a waitlist. We recommend completing your evaluation lesson early so you’re ready to join a class as soon as a spot opens.
-
We offer private, semi private, and group classes for our riders and each class varies in cost.
Class cost varies from $50-$65 per lesson depending on lesson type.
We also offer gift certificates at $60 for a one-time ride!
-
All riders must wear long pants and boots with a low heel and smooth sole for safety — sneakers aren’t allowed. ASTM-certified riding helmets are provided for new students. After the first month of lessons, we ask ongoing riders to bring their own properly fitted riding helmet.
