Beginners Lessons
Beginner horse riding lessons provide newcomers with a structured introduction to the world of riding. These lessons are designed to familiarize riders with the skills, safety protocols and the basics of riding and controlling the horse by learning how to apply the aids to ask the horse to walk, steer, halt and trot.
