WESTERN AND ENGLISH
RIDING LESSONS

WESTERN RIDING LESSONS

WE PREFER TO START OUR BEGINNER RIDERS WITH
WESTERN RIDING LESSONS. THE WESTERN SADDLE
PROVIDES THE RIDER WITH A MORE SECURE SEAT AND
A SADDLE HORN TO HANG ON TO IN CASE THEY LOOSE
THEIR BALANCE.

RIDING IN A WESTERN SADDLE CAN HELP YOU BUILD
STRENGTH THROUGH YOUR CORE AND LEGS, PLUS
IMPROVES YOUR SENSE OF BALANCE AND PROVIDES
GREAT LOW IMPACT EXERSIZE.

ONCE YOU LEARN THE BASICS OF RIDING WESTERN
SUCH AS THE PROPER SEAT AND HOW TO QUE YOUR
HORSE YOU CAN ADVANCE TO LEARNING A WIDE RANGE
OF EVENTS INCLUDING:
*TRAIL RIDING
*WESTERN PLEASURE FOR THE SHOW RING
*BARREL RACING & POLE BENDING
*REINING
*WORKING CATTLE

ENGLISH RIDING LESSONS

ENGLISH RIDING HAS BEEN PRACTICED FOR HUNDREDS
OF YEARS AND IS A TIME HONORED TRADITION.
ENGLISH SADDLES ARE MUCH SMALLER AND MORE
LIGHT WEIGHT THEN WESTERN SADDLES. MOST
RIDERS FIND THEY PREFER AN ENGLISH SADDLE
BECAUSE IT PROVIDES CLOSE CONTACT AND A BETTER
FEEL OF THE HORSE.

THE PROPER SEAT FOR RIDING ENGLISH IS SLIGHTLY
DIFFERENT THEN WESTERN BECAUSE THE STURIP
LENGTH IS SHORTER. RIDING ENGLISH SAFELY
REQUIRES A GOOD SENSE OF BALANCE AND CORE
STRENGTH.

ONCE YOU HAVE MASTERED THE BASICS OF RIDING
ENGLISH YOU CAN ADVANCE TO LEARNING A WIDE
RANGE OF ENGLISH EVENTS INCLUDING:
*ENGLISH PLEASURE FOR THE SHOW RING
*JUMPING
*DRESSAGE
*ENGLISH EQUITATION
