Lessons
are offered in both English and Western disciplines for riders of all ages and
skill levels, beginner to advanced.
Today,
people of all ages are enjoying horseback riding! Whether you are 6 or 60, you
can learn to ride. If the student learns slowly and correctly on a well-behaved
horse, the pleasure of riding will be greatly enhanced. Horseback riding will
help the student gain confidence and learn responsibility.
At Flying Bella Rosa Farm, the
student will learn to safely catch, lead, groom, saddle and bridle a horse as
well as develop good riding skills. Instruction in either English or Western
discipline is available. Classes for beginners are one hour long. After the
student is able to catch, groom and saddle by themselves, or with little
assistance, the lesson is then 45 minutes long, with the student having 15
minutes to groom and saddle. For example, if the student s lesson time is 5:00
pm, then the student arrives at 5:00 pm grooms, saddles and is ready to ride by
5:15 pm. The actual teaching begins at 5:15 pm and will end at 6:00 pm.
