Our private and small group lessons include a holistic approach to horsemanship and riding skill development. There will be a focus on mastering a strong basic seat and a deep understanding of our natural aids as they are the foundations of how we progress as equestrians. The team at Rise believes that the development of the relationship with the horse and the education of clients on safety and stable management is as essential as riding skill development. All of our clients will come away with a strong understanding of safety, equestrian etiquette, horse psychology and riding skills. Our programs will include a combination of ground work, basic vaulting (improving harmony with the horse and a balanced seat) and riding lessons. Once our clients have a strong foundation, we can tailor their programs towards dressage, hunter/jumper, trail riding or vaulting.

Our EAL programs use experiences with horses to foster opportunities for personal growth, physical literacy, mindfulness training, therapeutic benefits and other life skills development. These sessions are tailored to each individuals need and can include mounted or unmounted sessions.
Liberty refers to when a horse is at “liberty” or free of all tack. Our clients learn how to develop a connection and bond with their horse through a series of companionship interactions. With a deeper understanding of how our intentions and body language speak to our horses, we are able to develop a clear path of communication to create a happy and harmonious partnership.
Work in-hand is done with the rider on the ground. The goal of these sessions is to create suppleness on both sides, clarify aids and expectations, to teach straightness and athletic balance, to develop new concepts and to enhance the work done in the saddle.
These unmounted sessions focus on horse care and management. They will include topics such as grooming, feeding, tack care and more.
