CHILDREN’s LESSONS (age 8-16)

Sitting canter departure. Nice job from both rider and horse!

Woodland is for growing amazing kids. Amazing kids who are confident, compassionate, and caring.

Our Children’s Lesson are taught with three important ingredients…

  • Be safe

  • Have fun

  • Learn something new!

Woodland Horse Center loves introducing kids to the joy and excitement of horseback riding.

Our talented & knowledgeable instructors teach with kindness and patience as young riders learn to walk, halt and trot and improve on the basics of riding. As they grow, the kids will be introduced to more challenging skills like the canter and learning to take small jumps.

Our young riders also make lifelong friends that grow and learn together in a supportive environment.

Children’s lessons are available for all levels of riders. From kids with no experience to riders coming back to riding after a break, there is a class for you.

We also offer Show Teams and informal In-House Shows for those ready to complete.

My daughter has been riding weekly at Woodland for 2 1/2 years and there has never been a day that we were not excited to go - even in the coldest and hottest weather. We love the horses,
the instructors with their friendly approach, and the open space where kids can play.
