Riding Lessons
Year-round Riding
A large, airy indoor arena and a spacious outdoor arena provide ample facilities for your riding pleasure. We invite you to visit our beautiful property.
We welcome beginners and riders of all levels. We make a special effort to have friendly, reliable, and versatile school horses. While you enjoy your visit to HomeFarm for a lesson or a program, please do not feed or touch the horses or enter their stalls or pastures without a staff member.
Please note: We do not provide trail rides to the public, but you are welcome to join us for a lesson.
Lessons
Our approach emphasizes safety, relationships, and overall horsemanship. Therefore, we generally require the first lesson to be one hour long. It will include an introduction to meet the horse, and learn about horsemanship, grooming, tacking, etc. This allows the horse, rider, and instructor to get to know one another for a safer and more enjoyable riding lesson experience.
We have a team of skilled, licensed instructors who teach all levels.

Policies
All lessons must be paid at the time of booking. Unfortunately, without prepayment, we cannot hold a spot for you. We encourage you to book early as our lessons fill up quickly.
Cancellations
We have a 24-hour Cancellation Policy.
Any lesson canceled the day of will be charged the full lesson price. We have a tight lesson schedule, so if you are late for your lesson, we must shorten it to keep on schedule, and you will be charged full price.
If, for any reason, we need to cancel your lesson, we will forward your payment towards the next lesson.
Boarding
We offer full-care regular board for $800 per month (this includes hay, grain, worming, stall cleaning, and turn-in and out).
A training board can be arranged with the barn manager. Please call with any questions 413-637-3365.
