Why Should my child take at Young Rider's Horse Academy?

 

Enjoy things not Usually available to non-Horse Owners!

At our Barn,  we provide a variety of horses available for lessons.   Not only do we teach all of the traditional aspects of horseback riding lessons,  but our students also learn other areas of horse handling and care,  giving them the opportunity to enjoy horses in more ways than just riding without the added responsibility and time consumption that owning a horse takes.

 

Be Prepared!

Often times,  horse lovers take lessons for a while and decide they would like a horse of their own.  It is not until they get home with their new horse that they realize that there is a lot more care involved than just riding.  That is why at our barn,  we specialize in teaching about the WHOLE horse,   not just how to sit on a saddle.  We typically start with our  miniature horses (a lot less intimidating) teaching students horse safety and basic care,  along with driving a carriage (and riding for our little riders).  Students progress onto our larger horses once they are comfortable in the previous levels of horsemanship.  We have taken special care to put together classifications for each level of horsemanship and riding.  Because of our classifications,  students always know what level they are at  making it easy to constantly have new goals to achieve.  If our students do decide to purchase a horse of their own,  not only are they well prepared for all of the aspects of horse ownership,  but we also have a purchase program to help students find a suitable mount for their needs.  

 

No worries for parents!

Being very family oriented,   we understand concerns that come from parents.  We teach from age 4 and up using appropriate size mounts for every rider.  Our program stresses safety above all else.  We have quality instructors that are realistic in evaluating the level and maturity of students,  therefore not pushing them into something they are not yet ready for. 

Below is a basic list of what is learned at each level in our lesson program.

 

Instruction categories included are the following:

  Riding, road sense, care of the horse, horse knowledge, show training, performance, and driving

 

Levels:

Morgan Horses (Recommended experience level 0 to 1.5 years)

Objective:  Gain confidence in safety, horse handling and horse basics.  To gain Balance at the walk and trot.  The rider’s confidence and ability are more important than an exacting performance by horse at this level. 

 

Paso Fino’s (recommended experience level of 1.5 to 2.5 years)

Objective:  To gain confidence in riding and handling a horse.  To obtain balance at the walk,  trot,  and canter without a longe line.  Should be able to demonstrate halting and turning without instructional help.  To perform simple movements for specialized styles of riding with minimal instructional help.

 

Holsteiners-(recommended experience level of 2.5 to 4 years)

Objective:  To obtain a firm seat independent of the reins at a walk, trot and canter.  To know and be able to apply correct aids for simple movements.  To be in control of the horse at all times.  To have a knowledge of daily care of horses.  At this point,  many consider owning their own horse. 

 

Andalusians (Recommended experience level 4 years plus)

Objective:  For the advanced horseperson that wants to further their knowledge in training of horses and advanced  riding and driving techniques.  Emphasis is placed on the skill and balance of the rider, plus the collection and willingness of the horse.
