Lessons

Lessons in our Boxwood Equestrian Training Program are personalized for all skill levels, accommodating beginner through advanced riders and equipping our clients with the skills needed to achieve their goals. We specialize in Hunters, Jumpers, and Equitation, preparing our riders to compete at many levels, from local schooling shows to national competitions.

Depending on rider ability, lessons may include flat work, seat positions, aids, patterns, ground poles, jumps, and more! Our horses are our partners, so our trainers also teach the importance of respectful and responsible equine care and handling. This includes:

Putting on a halter and leading your horse
Grooming for lessons and the show ring
Tacking and untacking your horse
Mounting and dismounting your horse
Safety on and off your horse

Grooming and tacking/untacking services are not included in our lessons because we want our riders to be hands-on and well-rounded in their equine education. This also helps develop a deeper bond between you and your horse, whether you are riding one of our lesson horses, a lease, or your own horse.

Lesson Pricing (Non-Boarding Clients)

All lessons for non-boarding clients include horse, equipment, and facility rental. Equipment includes tack (saddle, pads, bridle, etc.) and grooming supplies.

What to Bring to Your Lesson

For your lesson, please wear long pants (preferably breeches) and closed-toe shoes with a one-inch heel. Tall English riding boots or paddock boots with half chaps are preferred.

We also have lesson helmets available, but always suggest you purchase your own helmet that is perfectly fitted to you. Reliable brands we trust include One K, Ovation, Kask, and Samshield helmets.

All clients are required to complete a Rider Release Form prior to their first lesson. Please print, complete, and bring the form to your first lesson.
