LESSONS
Lessons teach basic riding and horsemanship skills, from just starting out through advanced jumping. Our school horses are well trained and friendly while being gentle enough for a brand new rider and athletic enough for more advanced riders. In all lessons, riders are expected to do the following:
$320 per month for 1x weekly on a lesson horse
$620 per month for 2x weekly on a lesson horse
$325 per month for 2x weekly lessons on your own boarded horse
$450 per month for 3x weekly lessons on your own boarded horse
$70 per lesson for haul-in lessons
Lessons are not canceled due to weather, however they may transition to unmounted horsemanship lessons if the conditions are unsafe for horse or rider.
- groom and tack up their horse
- cool down, groom, and put away their horse after riding
- clean their horse's paddock
- ensure their horse has a clean and full water trough
- sweep barn aisle and put away all equipment
- clean and oil bridles and saddles

LEASING
Many of our lesson horses are available for half lease. A half lease gives a rider access to their horse three times a week. These can be split between lessons and free rides, with a minimum of one lesson per week. Leasing also gives a rider priority for taking their horse to horse shows. This is a great way to ease into horse ownership at a fixed rate per month. Please note that I will only allow my leased horses to jump up to 2'6". Each horse is priced differently due to its athletic ability, quality and medical needs. Please inquire as to specific horse availability.
Price is all-inclusive per month, No additional fees for vet, farrier, lessons, board, etc.

SHOWING
As riders advance, they often wish to go to horse shows. These opportunities are exciting for students as they get to show off their skills, build friendships with other riders, and compete for year end awards. We primarily show at the Lake Washington Saddle Club's summer show series in Kirkland, WA. We will occasionally show at A-Circuit shows as well and these can be discussed further in person.
Show expectations and costs will be fully disclosed upfront and an itemized show bill emailed on the last day of the show. For ballpark figures, expect $600 all-in (all show fees and trainer fees) for a weekend at LWSC and $1200-1500 all-in for a week at a rated show.
While many riders from our farm attend horse shows, it is not a requirement and there is no pressure to compete if you do not wish to do so.
Riders in 4th-12th grade may compete as part of our Interscholastic Equestrian Team as well!

EXTRACURRICULAR TRIPS
Throughout the year, we go on several trips. These trips are available for all riders to participate in on a first come, first served basis. See note pages below for more information. These trips will broaden your horse's experiences and are a fantastic way to get out of the ring and enjoy the PNW!
