We offer year-round riding lessons for students of every age and ability.
Heaven’s Gate Farm supplies GPA certified helmets to ALL Lesson Riders.
This is the very best helmet money can buy.
Our philosophy is to teach our students about horses and riding from the ground up. They learn grooming, care and compassion for the horses first. Then they receive structured lessons to teach them to ride successfully and safely. This combined approach creates a long-lasting bond between the horse and rider. Furthermore, the students develop self-confidence, pride and accountability.
There is something to be said about a person (young or old) who, after a fall (no matter how slight) puts their left foot into the stirrup to mount up.
You feel this debilitating fear, not just phycically but mentally. You feel shaky and so afraid and alone.... your body parts wont cooperate the way they did before your fall.
You are thinking about every move that your horse is making instead of on your ride.You are wondering is he going to spook, buck, ect....
All of a sudden you feel a little sick and weak, it is hard to breathe, and you want to stay on but it is so very frightening. You wish you could go back to before your fall or bad experience. But you just can't....
I watched three of my riders mount up this weekend with this fear. I want to help you!!!I have been there so many times.
I can teach you the skills you need to overcome your fears. Let me help!I know what it is and how it feels and how alone you feel with the fear.
You are not alone and may I add that the fact that you put your left foot in the stirrup and mounted and rode is the beginning and you will get that feeling back, it just takes time. It takes a very brave strong person to mount up after a fall or bad experience.
During lessons, I provide clear and gentle guidance and encourage students to identify and solve problems on their own. My students learn to be strong, confident riders in every discipline they choose. They master good seat, good hands and soft riding. They learn control without force.
We offer instruction in the following areas:
Lessons are taught in small groups with customized lesson plans. Private and semi-private lessons are also available.
Students should to arrive 15-20 minutes before their scheduled lesson to help groom and tack up their horse. Time should also be allowed for students to put away their horse and clean tack.
Lessons are scheduled throughout the week and may be taken as often as you'd like. Lessons are also available by appointment at any time.
