Lessons & Training
We offer English Horseback Riding lessons to both kids and adults (Age 5+). Please contact for lesson time availability. We teach Monday-Friday after school, with some day time availability for mature riders, and home school students. Our weekends are filled with lessons as well as horse shows/team building activities. Our riding academy is suited to new and experienced riders who would like to have the use of a lesson horse. Riders who lease or own their own horse graduate to our Hunter Jumper Program. Please message us with your availability! All inquiries about lessons/training to kaitlyn@empireequestrian.ca
45 MIN LESSONS
$65.00 plus gst
Our 45 minute riding lessons teach students how to properly groom, tack up, mount, ride and dismount horses. As riders gain more experience and are comfortable grooming and tacking up without the assistance of an instructor, they may come earlier and have a longer time to ride during their lesson. Students who are apart of the riding academy have access to use of a lesson horse during their lessons. Riders who lease or own horses graduate to our Hunter Jumper Program. Special, lower rates are available for riders with access to their own horses.
Our 45 minute theory lessons can be taken individually or in a group. Our theory lesson topics are informative and fun. Theory lessons are a great way for newer riders to gain confidence on the ground around horses before advancing in the saddle. Theory lessons are also good for riders who want to further their knowledge about horses, and horse care. In the event that riding is not permitted, lessons will be substituted with a theory lesson. Our theory lessons prepare riders for horse leasing/ownership. We follow the practices as laid out by Equine Canada, and our lessons help to prepare riders to test for the EC Rider Level Program which also offers high school credits.
Our lesson horses are experienced, talented and safe. We have horses and ponies of all sizes and abilities. From walk trot all the way through advanced jumping. Bringing your own horse or pony is also an option. Trailer in lessons are available.
