I offer Professional English Riding Lessons, Specializing in beginner rider basic skills of Hunter Jumper Equitation. I give lessons at a small private riding facility in Las Vegas area near the South Strip. Lesson horses available, all lessons are private lessons, children 5 years old - adults welcome. Appointments only Please.
Our barn, and the riding program I run is designed for people who are, and want to be long term dedicated equestrian riders. If you are looking for a one time ride or a trail ride, we may not be the riding facility for you.
I have been riding, training and showing horses for 20 years. My goal is to provide you a safe, fun, and stress free atmosphere so you can enjoy learning how to ride and care for horses. When you take lessons you will learn how to be safe around horses, how to lead and handle horses, how to groom, tack up, how to keep a horse healthy and happy, and of course you will learn the fundamental skills of horseback riding that will make you a great rider. If you are already a rider and you would like to improve your riding skills lessons are the place to start. Riding is a great way to stay fit and is supported by weightwatchers.
Horseback Riding is a sport One of the most intense sports known to man. Not only because it's physically challenging, but it takes more than athleticism. Horseback riding takes commitment, time, patience, and most importantly building a bond with your horse and trainer.
Remember, the more you ride the more you will learn.

Policies
Payment Terms
Payment is due up front prior to your first lesson of the month. If you are purchasing a monthly package, the entire balance is due at this time. Lesson packages expire 1 months from date of purchase. prices are subject to change, PACKAGES ARE NON REFUNDABLE
Cancellations & Rescheduling
I must be notified at least 12 hours in advance for all cancellations, otherwise you will be charged for the missed lesson. Exceptions may be offered in extreme circumstances. In the event of inclimate weather or instructor cancellation, lessons will be rescheduled with no penalty, but must be made up with in the same month, if the weather is unsafe to ride in trainer may decide to do a non riding horsemanship lesson.
Note from Trainer about Lesson Cancellation Policy Please Read
I spend a lot of travel time getting to the barn getting the horses caught
up and ready for a lesson, it is only fair to me, the horse, and everyone that we have
and use a cancellation policy. All lessons bought in a package are to be
used within a months time (5 weeks) Students who cannot make it to their
lesson, must cancel 12 hours in advance. If lessons are canceled 12 hours
in advance, you may schedule a make-up lesson, other wise the lesson will
be forfeited, charges will still apply. Make-up lessons must be re-scheduled
on designated make-up days (within your 5 week package). In the event of
inclement weather or instructor cancellation, lessons will be rescheduled
with no penalty. It works best if all riders pick a day/time spot that will be the same every week so there will be no scheduling confusion. If you voluntarily drop out of lessons you are forfeiting the rest of the lessons in your group of lessons, and your time spot. PACKAGES ARE NON REFUNDABLE Thank you for your understanding.
