Affordable Riding Lessons

"Melissa is a great riding instructor and she knows alot about teaching in a way I can understand! She gave me the confidence and knowledge I need to be a safe and soft handed rider!" - Rachel

"Melissa is a great instructor, she knows what she's doing, and she is very layed back. She teaches at your pace and will help you make any adjustments needed in your riding including your seat and control over your mount." -Carly, 12 years old

"Melissa is a wonderful and patient instructor with the knowledge and genuine love for horses that comes across in everything she does! She has a true passion for horses and shares that with all of her riders. My daughter is not just learning how to ride a horse but every aspect of horses;from grooming & tacking a horse all the way to riding and loving horses with all your being! We are so happy to have found Melissa and her program!!!" - Christine, mother

"Devi was SO happy. Usually, she offers a few comments, but I couldn't keep her quiet all the way home! Which was wonderful. She says "Melissa is a good teacher because she tells me WHY I need to do what I'm doing and that makes SO much more sense than just telling me what to do with no reason." She also really enjoyed Carlie and Rachel. She totally respected their experience and is happy to take direction and learn from them. I think that is truly wonderful to have a bit of an "apprenticeship" going on. Rachel told me her mom is going to start lessons. I'm thinking that this fall when life is a bit more calm, that sounds like fun!" - Maria, Mother (About her daughter's first riding lesson)

"Melissa has a calm, gentle manner with children. She is very encouraging and patient during lessons. We are thrilled to have found a teacher with those qualities AND who teaches all aspects of horse ownership, including tacking and horse health. We want our children to have those skills and knowledge before having their own horses some day!!" -Amy, Mother

"She doesn't get mad when you do something wrong, by an accident." -Sophie, age 7

"She is a really good teacher because she is really patient, she understands if you are having a hard time." -Carly, age 10

“Meghan had had a bad experience with a previous instructor that shook her confidence. Melissa and Mister worked with her patiently and brought back her confidence and her love of riding. This is the proud, confident Meghan that I’d pictured on a horse.”-Ginger, Mother
