Our Program

Group Riding Lessons

We believe that riding lessons can be greatly enhanced when shared with others. The opportunity to watch others at the same level adds a depth not received in private lessons. Riders qualify to join groups once they're trotting independently. Its a lot more fun learning along with others at the same level!

Horsemanship Clinics

Once a month, students have the option to attend a 2-hr Horsemanship Class where they gain hands-on experience in horse care, riding preparation, and practical horsemanship skills. This clinic helps students build independence and proficiency, preparing them for greater responsibilities.

Progress & Goals Sessions

At the beginning of each quarter session, we meet with students (and parents, if applicable). Together we assess their progress, set new goals, and provide personal feedback to help continuous progress.

Progress Tracking

Our levelled curriculum is managed on a shared Google Doc with each student documenting their journey. Students advance at their own pace, building a strong foundation before moving to the next level.

Celebrating Achievement

At Valley Ridge Horsemanship Academy, we love celebrating our students’ milestones. As riders advance through curriculum levels, we recognize their dedication and hard work with a certificate and tassel.
