Riding Lessons
Lessons are constructed for first time riders to competition riders. Each rider is educated based on their individual riding goals and needs within the English or Western disciplines. Beginners are taught basic equine skills to achieve a strong foundation. More advanced riders build upon that foundation and are challenged to achieve their full potential. All riders can expect to learn and grow in a safe environment focusing on horsemanship and sportsmanship. Emphasis is placed on safety, balance, control, respect, compassion, and responsibility to build the foundation needed to become an equestrian. Our lesson horses are explicitly selected for our program to be safe, patient, sweet-natured, and forgiving. Find more information regarding lesson structure and pricing below.

Over the years, we have witnessed many riders have health issues due to lack of hydrating or eating. In return, we offer drinks and healthy snacks prior to riding. We have noticed a large decrease in the number of students overheating or becoming fatigued.
Seahorse Equestrian, LLC owns wonderful equines who have experience teaching students to ride properly. They love to be showered with attention and cared for by the students.
