Spend March Break getting ready for show season! This high intensity training program is open to only six riders -- so register soon! Riders must be able to walk, trot, canter and jump a 2' course to participate (if you're not sure, check with your instructor). Adults welcome!
While focused on competitive skills, any dedicated rider is welcome to participate!
Jump lessons will be in groups of like abilities and run an hour. Dressage lessons are half-hour privates. Each day will also have a classroom component that will help you to prepare for show season or to develop your riding goals.
