Riding lessons at Collinwood Farm

With its natural charm and tranquility, yet close proximity to the city, Collinwood Farm is the ideal place to take riding lessons. We offer private and group lessons for both children and adults, ages 8 and up. English riding style is taught by a certified instructor.

What We Teach: Total horsemanship is covered in our lesson program. This includes learning safe handling of horses, care and grooming, tacking and untacking, parts of the horse and tack, and nutrition and feeding. Lessons will be conducted primarily in the outside arena, but a trail ride may be included. Lessons may also be conducted on the ground with worksheets used as reinforcement for topics introduced under saddle. English riding style is taught with an emphasis on developing the rider's balanced and independent seat in all three gaits. As the rider progresses, jumping position will be introduced in combination with work over ground poles and low jumps. All lessons will be given on Collinwood Farm school horses. We can accommodate both the true beginner and the intermediate rider.
