Nowhere else in the United States can you learn to ride correctly and classically on well-schooled, beautiful lesson horses (many of which are Lipizzan exhibition and performance horses). We cater our program to students who are passionate about the preservation of the art of classical riding. Dedicated to assisting their students through every facet of the learning process, we can fully customize a program to most complement the needs and goals of the student. We welcome visitors and students to experience the tradition and heritage of classical horsemanship. Packages can be completely tailored to fit each rider's desires and needs. Some of our visitors wish to take one lesson a day and spend the remainder of their day either watching the other lessons and training or touring the area. Other visitors wish to maximize their time with us and take as many lessons a day as our schedules can accommodate. Group and private lessons are available, as are schoolhorses. Stabling is available for visitors who wish to bring their horse(s).
