Lessons with Solange are a fun and educating experience. Our students learn proper ground handling and how to saddle and bridle their lesson horse. All students begin in a Western saddle and are provided the opportunity and encouraged to advance to an English saddle.
Our goal is to provide students with a classical riding education with safety always first and foremost. We are a non-showing barn and concentrate on trail-riding and fox hunting for our clients.
