Six Weekly 90-minute+ Sessions
Beginning Jan 31
Limited to 5 Kids
$450/Child
Beginner riding & horsemanship lessons are now being offered at SYV Horseback Rides in River View Park, Buellton. Our 6-Week “Introduction to Horsemanship Program" resumes for children ages 6 and up, and is offered Tuesdays and Thursdays from 3:30 to 5 pm, beginning January 31. Limited to just five students each, sessions are intimate for maximum learning that not only teaches kids beginner riding lessons, but also all-around horsemanship to keep them safe and confidant both on the ground and in the saddle for an immersive horsemanship experience, perfect for beginners.
Students will be taught the basics of grooming, leading, tying, tacking, and beginner Western riding. Students will ride their assigned horses during each lesson, as well as work on the key groundwork and preparation for riding and caring for their horses. Gradually, students will be led on short trail rides, with the eventual goal of mastering a 60-minute River Trail Ride along and across the Santa Ynez River during their final session. No previous riding experience is necessary. The price is $450 for six 90-minute+ sessions. Contact Bob for more information.
