Horsemanship Lessons

Basic Horsemanship & Riding Lessons

At River Ranch, we strongly believe that all riders benefit from having a strong foundation with an emphasis on horsemanship. All students will learn the basics of horseback riding. Great lesson packages are offered at an affordable rate for everyone 7 years of age or older and in good health.

Lessons are structured according to each individual student. We teach the students all aspects of horsemanship from grooming, saddling, and basic care, to a good, strong foundation of horseback riding skills.
