Riding Lessons at Hunters Pointe Stables

Lessons are offered year-round on a flexible schedule. Although several students enjoy competing at local shows, Hunters Pointe recognizes that everyone has different goals. The trainer works closely with each student to ensure that the lesson plan supports individual objectives. An encouraging environment makes each lesson a positive experience. Tacking, grooming, safety, and basic care for the horses is an integral part of the lesson program.

Hunters Pointe offers several different lesson horses to meet a variety of training needs. Beginner ponies through advanced horses are matched with students for an optimal riding experience. Ground lessons are available for students on rainy days to expand their knowledge and increase horsemanship skills. Class sizes are small to ensure individualized attention.
