If the group is less than 4 the cost goes up to $35 per lesson. HOWEVER!! There is a Work To Ride opportunity for middle and high school students. If your child is willing to do an hour of barn chores, the lesson fee will go down to $15. Chores will be horse related and may include things like – sweeping and cobweb control in tack rooms and stalls, cleaning and oiling leather equipment, mucking stalls, etc. We are still working out a solution for reducing costs for younger, elementary-age kids, depending on how many show an interest in WTR. As kids sign up and we get to know the availability/schedules of our new students, we will try to organize group lessons by age and skill level to create a comfortable learning environment for all students in the group; and to maximize efficiency for families with multiple ages/levels. P. E. Credit/Barn Management: This would be structured as a weekly, daytime class, spanning several weeks, and include instruction on riding, horse care, and barn management. Further details TBD based on interest.
