TESTIMONIALS

Lesson Program:

Lessons are directed at students' specific interests, which range from competing in USEA events to local dressage or hunter shows, combined tests or events, or just trail riding at Blue Marsh Lake. Private lessons are 30 minutes of riding times, and group lessons are 45 minutes of riding time, either on the student's own horse or one of the farm's quality lesson horses or ponies. Students are expected to come a few minutues early and stay after lessons to groom and tack-up if necessary. Beginners will receive assistance until they are able to prepare and care for their lesson horse themselves.

For students interested in showing, see "SHOW TEAM".

Lesson Philosophy:

Riding lessons at Heron Mead Farm are not simply to teach riders correct position and technique, but how to understand their horse or pony's psychology and physiology to get the best perfomance possible. We strive to create "Horsemen" or "Horsewomen" and not just riders. However unlike some other riding programs, our students spend their lesson time in the saddle, not grooming or tacking-up. These skills are taught in our Day Camps offered year-round, from week-long Summer Camps to Spring and Fall Saturday Camps to our Holiday Camp (during the winter Holiday break). For more information, see "CAMPS".
