Riding Lessons

Students may begin weekly lessons at 8 years old. Groups are organized by experience level and age group. Our experienced riding instructors have diverse riding backgrounds - click here to meet them! Our dependable horses are used year round - which means we know them very well. We carefully choose a horse suitable for each riders level and personality - click here to meet our horses! Students will have the opportunity to ride in our indoor arena, outdoor arena, on trails, and once ready, through our cross-country course.

To start the process, please e-mail jdawson@fairwindsstables.com and give us your (or your child’s)
name, age, height, weight, and riding experience, if any. Also please note days and times which are NOT convenient for you. One of our instructors will return your e-mail with their available days and times and from there, schedule your weekly lesson slot. At times, we must place people on a waiting list, but we will contact you as soon as we can.

Attire: All riders must wear:

Long pants or breeches
Shoes or boots with a small heel and hard sole (no flip flops, tennis shoes, crocs, canvas shoes, etc.)
Certified horseback riding helmet (we have some available to borrow for up to 3 weeks)
