Step 1:
Horsemanship Course
(Students with Little to No Horse Experience)

Here at Orchard View we truly believe in a strong, positive foundation for all of our students. Our Horsemanship Course consists of introductory lessons that offer a great beginning for new horse enthusiasts, both adults and children, to learn and experience the benefits of being around horses and horseback riding!

The Horsemanship Course is a four week course that prepares students to work independently and confidently grooming horses, tacking up, horse care and safety, and handling horses both on the ground and in the saddle! Our Horsemanship Course is the perfect full experience for anyone looking to expand their horse knowledge and start private lessons!

A free 30 minute review will be scheduled after the completed course to evaluate your readiness and ensure your confidence for our private lesson program.

Step 1:
Introductory Tour
(Students with Prior Horse Experience)

Are you a seasoned horse rider? Comfortable independently getting your horse ready for a lesson? Schedule a 30 minute Introductory Tour of Orchard View so we can show you around!

During your tour we will show you around the farm, where you would find your lesson horse, locate all needed tack, and ensure you feel prepared to start our private lesson program.

Step 2:
Private Lessons Ages 6 & Up
(Must Complete Step 1)

Private lessons are one-on-one with the student and the instructor. These 30 minute long lessons give the students time to work on fine tuning their riding and horse knowledge no matter what level they are at! All lessons can be with an Orchard View lesson horse or a horse you own or lease.

Students are required to arrive 30 minutes prior to their scheduled lesson time to have their horse prepared for instruction and expected to stay after the lesson to allow time to properly put the horse away.

Complete Step 1 then contact us when you are ready to get started!

Step 3: Owning/Leasing a Horse

When you are ready to get more riding time under your belt, the professionals at Orchard View can help you find your perfect match whether it be leasing or buying a horse!

Having a horse to call your own can be a very rewarding experience. Riders get to form a real connection to their horse and progress their riding skills and general horsemanship exponentially! Finding the perfect fit is our top priority, let us help you fulfill your dreams!
