HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS I teach Beginner to Intermediate horseback riders in a Christian environment - specializing in English. The kids will learn how to take care of a horse, ride the horse and just have clean fun! The lesson time can be made during the day or in the evening according to what the family wants. Individuals will need to take lessons at least once a week because it's hard to learn how to ride a horse coming less times than that. The maximum times they can take a week would be 3. This all depends on their preference. There are 30 and 1 hr. lessons available. Lessons are available throughout the year with some weeks off during summer. Rider will need a helmet and a boot with a little heel to begin with and a few more items if they continue to pursue riding. Costs are 30 minute lessons - $20 and 1 hour lessons -$30 Contact info: Tara Hayes 770-584-6052(cell) or 770-228-7451(home)
