An Overview of the Cadence Ranch Lesson Program

Cadence Ranch offers private and semi-private English and Western riding instruction for all ages and abilities: from the beginner to the advanced, pleasure riders to serious competitors. Cadence Ranch strives to create a program geared to each rider’s unique needs. In addition to lessons, Cadence Ranch offers camps throughout the year for kids and for adults. To learn more about upcoming camps see out section on Camps.

With an emphasis on safety at every level, students progress through clearly defined goals as they develop both riding and horse management skills. The learning environment is supportive and students are encouraged to accept new challenges as their skills progress. Proven techniques and principles of classical teaching and riding are adhered to while stressing safe horsemanship and good sportsmanship. 

Lessons are given in the arena, round pen and on the ground. Focus is placed on teaching students to ride with a balanced seat using their entire body to influence their horse, regardless of which discipline they choose to pursue.

School horses of different caliber to match your riding ability are available or students can trailer their own horses in for lessons.

Our goal is to make hobby riders and serious competitors of all ages and abilities feel equally at ease. It is our desire that you learn and gain confidence while working with horse.
