Our Ride With A Purpose program is our unique method of tracking progress in students as they develop into knowledgeable, safe, and well-rounded equestrians.

Students work to master specific skills in each of the levels and receive recognition for completion when they are able to consistently demonstrate each of the skills to their instructor.
​
In many cases, achievement of one level is a prerequisite for learning more advanced skills such as jumping or speed events.
These levels are divided into three branches to reflect the main areas of study within our riding school. 

The Horse Sense Levels focus on the extensive equine knowledge needed to work with and care for horses successfully. 
Testing students on general equine science, equipment knowledge, and veterinary and stable management skills.

The Horsemanship Levels concentrate on the rider’s ability in the saddle. 
Developing their balance, confidence, arena etiquette, and safety awareness. 

The Horse Centered Levels introduce training and groundwork skills.
This allows students to maintain training in a wide variety of situations while increasing communication and connection with the horse.

​HELMET POLICY:

Students are required to purchase their own helmet.
