Join us Spring 2025 for Riding Lessons!
Our mission is to teach riders how to communicate with their horses through their seat and legs before using the reins. We value making our lessons fun and educational. Our goal is to teach students good horsemanship skills on the ground and in the saddle, which will give them a solid foundation to grow on.
****Summer is HOT! Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated.
Private Lessons
NEW STUDENTS will need to take private lessons till the instructor evaluates and approves them moving to group lessons. Students will have their own horse to groom, tack and ride. A private lesson is an opportunity to have one on one coaching from an instructor. Class is an hour long. Private lessons will focus on the individuals riding goals and can cover a wide range of topics which may include: bareback riding, pole work, lunging, ground work, communication with their horse, horses body language, learning about horse anatomy, saddle parts, bits and bridals. Private lesson doesn't guarantee the arena to yourself, their maybe other riders but you will have your own instructor.
$60/ private lesson
Group Lessons

30 Minute Lead Line
We offer 30 minute lead line lessons for ages 2-5 with parental assistance. This is a great way to introduce your children to horses in a safe environment. Horses will be tacked and ready to go for these lessons.
If you have an older child that is unsure if horses are what they want to do, we can set up a 30 min class for them to try it out.

Canceling: If you need to cancel your lesson you must give a week's notice from your scheduled ride date to avoid a cancellation charge. Any cancellations made after the seven day window has passed will be charged a $15 cancelation fee. This helps pay for the instructor's time and lost revenue from others being able to sign up for that time.​

We have a few options for instructors this year: Alena Kimball 801-674-7230, Izzy Malm 801-835-0101 and Aubrey Wilhelmsen 208-960-5822. We also have a few interns that have a horse background and are wanting to expand their abilities. We are a teaching school and will have our interns training with us on how we run our program. There maybe times when they will be stepping in to fill in for a instructor if they are unavailable for their normal lesson time.
Scheduling
Please fill out our registration form first, contact Dianne with any questions. Liability waivers can be signed electronically through the registration form. You may also bring a signed printed copy to your first lesson. 435-225-7007
If you have ridden with us and would like to sign up with a specific instructor, please reach out to them directly for scheduling.
Special Note
All minors must ride with a helmet. We have a few spare helmets if one is forgotten but we don't guarantee we'll have the size you need. If no helmet is available, we can work on ground work with the student.
Safety is our number one priority. When working with large animals it is critical for students to listen and perform tasks the instructor gives. If at any point the instructor feels like a situation is becoming unsafe, we will ask the rider to dismount. This is to keep you, other riders, horses and instructors safe.
Students must wear long pants and secure shoes. We highly recommend riding in boots but lace up shoes will work. Please note that some days could have mud where we tack up, please plan accordingly.
We recommend bringing a water bottle and wearing weather appropriate clothing.

I grew up in West Valley City Utah. I am a student at USU and am graduation with my bachelors degree in Animal, Dairy and Veterinary Sciences in May 2024. I did not grow up in agriculture or riding horses but have always loved it. Through school and work experiences I have learned to work with numerous animals and Western Riding. I have worked in the Grand Tetons leading trail rides and discovered I love teaching beginners and seeing people connect with horses.
