Public Horse Riding Lessons

Experience the thrill and joy of horseback riding. Whether you are a true beginner, have some experience, or are looking to improve your riding skills, our qualified instructors will guide you through a fun, fit and progressive learning experience.  Horseback riding is one of the few sports which challenges both body and mind, improving a person’s self-confidence, personal growth, decision making, focus and emotional control.

The Stable at Lord Stirling Park team is dedicated to creating a safe atmosphere of learning for all riding participants. The Stable offers a variety of horses, cobs and ponies for various riding levels.

Private (1-rider) and semiprivate lessons (2-riders) are being offered at The Stable.  Private and semiprivate lessons require the rider to groom, tack and ride one of the Stable’s lesson horses. This allows for a wonderful bonding experience between horse and rider. These horsemanship lessons allow the student to become a well-rounded equestrian.

The Stable at Lord Stirling Park is offering horsemanship and riding lessons to teens and children ages 9-17 who are interested in horseback riding.  All riders must weigh less than 190 lbs. Riders may progress through levels, acquire new skills, and challenge their physical and mental coordination.
