Lessons are offered for adults and children of all skill levels, beginner to advanced. We believe in teaching with positive reinforcement to motivate learners to their highest potential. Learning is paced to match the student’s individual needs.

We warmly invite you to schedule a tour and evaluation lesson ($85) to explore our space, meet our team, and see how we can support your goals.

Our lessons are sold as a monthly tuition of $300/month for one lesson/week (recurring at the same day/time).

If you cancel a lesson more than 24 hours in advance, you may attend one of our make-up sessions.  We have set makeup session on the first Saturday of the month at 8am. Makeups must be attended within 30 days of the missed lesson. Please closely review our lesson policy on makeups!

We are a teaching, showing and training facility. Your lesson, especially at the beginning, will include time spent catching your horse, grooming, learning about tack and tacking your horse. Then you will spend time riding, untacking and grooming. If you are interested in a single trail or leisure ride, please allow us to recommend another facility.

We have well mannered, safe lesson horses and all the necessary tack, helmets, and equipment to get our beginner riders started! Once a rider is confidently trotting, there is the option to begin the leasing or purchase process and riders can join us at shows, however lesson horses are available up to the 18 inch vertical divisions.

We’re excited to have you join us! Below is some info to help you get started. Please make sure you review this information carefully and complete our online forms before your first lesson!

ONLINE FORMS FOR NEW CLIENTS.  

Edgebrook is big! We have 160 acres, 4 arenas and over 50 paddocks! When you arrive, you’ll pull into the parking area and walk up to the large covered arena and barn (you’ll see a circle drive). Please park in the designated parking area and not on the grass.  If you need help finding your way around, here is a map of the facility. This is also printed out and posted in the barn aisle to help. Don’t worry… you’ll get to know your way around very quickly and if you need any help, please ask!

What to wear?

1. Helmets: Safety is the top priority in our riding lessons and students must wear a helmet at all times while on a horse. If you have your own riding helmet, please bring it. If not, we have approved helmets for students to use during lessons.  Dover Saddlery and Charlotte’s Saddlery are local stores that are dedicated to English riding and can find the perfect helmet for your head and budget. Note that bicycle helmets and other helmets not designed for horseback riding are not allowed as they may not withstand the impact of a fall.
2. Boots with at least a 1″ heel are preferred. Do not show up in tennis shoes, hiking boots or sandals! If you do not have appropriate riding boots, please contact us and we will be happy to assist you with recommendations on where to purchase them. If you show up in anything other than a heeled boot, you will not be allowed to ride for safety reasons. You do not have to purchase tall English boots; paddock boots and half-chaps work perfectly for lessons.
3. If you’ve  taken a few lessons and decided you love it and want to continue, please invest in a quality helmet, pair of breeches, riding gloves and a riding shirt that can be tucked in. Breeches allow an easier grip with the english saddle and a well-fitted and tucked in shirt allows your instructor to have a better view of your equitation.
4. Please do not wear any loose jewelry, such as long earrings, bracelets or necklaces. Hair should be pulled back and braided or in a hair net.

A note about siblings: it is extremely important that younger siblings are not left to wander around the barn . Please keep them with you at all times and make sure they do not disrupt the horses from outside the arena. 

Workout Wednesday

Included in your lesson package is our weekly equestrian fitness class held right at the barn, designed specifically for riders who want to feel stronger, more balanced, and more effective in the saddle. These sessions are included with your monthly tuition at Edgebrook. Each session focuses on rider-specific exercises that build core strength, stability, mobility, and coordination; targeting the muscles you actually use when you ride.

The workouts are equestrian-centered and practical, helping improve balance, posture, leg strength, and overall body awareness so those gains translate directly to better riding. Whether you’re looking to ride with more control, reduce fatigue, or support long-term soundness for both you and your horse, Workout Wednesday is all about creating stronger, more confident riders, one week at a time.
