New Riding Students
Riders With Prior ExperienceWe assess all new riders with an introductory lesson in order to introduce them to Shadowlane, assess the rider's level, and find them a suitable lesson program moving forwards. The introductory lesson is a one-on-one introductory lesson that includes tacking, riding, and untacking with a coach.
In order to participate in our regular lesson program a rider must be able to safely and independently tack up, steer, walk, trot, post, and untack. Introductory lessons are $80 (tax included) Due to overwhelming interest there is a waitlist for new riding students. |
Riders With Little ExperienceRiders new to horseback riding will need some one-on-one lessons before they can enter our regular riding program. Our Learn to Ride Program offers a great way for new riders to learn all the basics and is a fun and safe way to kick start your riding journey!
The Learn to Ride Program is 6-8 week course where riders have a 1 hour private lesson each week. Lessons include tacking, riding, and untacking with a coach. Our summer learn to ride program is currently full. We are taking a waitlist for our fall program. |
What to Bring to Your First Leson
Riding students need to come to their lesson wearing a long comfortable pant, boots with a heel (rubber boots tend to work well), gloves with grip or textured fingers, and a horseback riding helmet (no other types of helmet are allowed). Shadowlane provides all other riding equipment needed. New riders are also required to have a completed information and emergency contact sheet and waiver before riding, which are linked below.
