Riding Lessons

Silver Buckle provides structured riding lessons for all ages and skill levels, following our Levels-Based Riding Curriculum. All new riders begin with private lessons for at least one month to build foundational skills and confidence. Lessons integrate both groundwork and riding techniques, available in English or Western styles, emphasizing safety, horsemanship, and understanding the “why” behind each technique.

Private lessons offer personalized, one-on-one instruction tailored to individual goals and skill levels. These sessions provide intensive guidance on groundwork and riding, ensuring steady progression. Each lesson lasts roughly 45 minutes and costs $75 with select instructors, setting riders up for success and confidence before transitioning to group classes.

After demonstrating adequate control and awareness in private lessons, riders advance to group lessons. These weekly sessions promote bonding with peers and foster independence in riders who have acquired foundational equine skills. Typically, groups consist of 3-4 riders, priced at $55 per session and billed monthly.

Designed specifically for young equestrians aged 4-9, the Rising Stars Class introduces essential horse skills in a safe and supportive environment. These 30-minute lessons occur exclusively on Thursday evenings at $40 per session, guided by an instructor and assisted by volunteers, preparing young riders for future advancement within our program.
