🐴✨ BEGINNER ENGLISH & JUMPING LESSONS ✨🐴
Is your child dreaming of learning to ride English or eventually becoming a jumper? Now is the perfect time to get started! 🤍
I’m offering beginner English & jumping lessons geared toward kids and preteens, using large ponies that are perfect for young riders. (Not the ponies pictured)
🌟 What we’ll work on in beginner lessons:
• Proper English position & balance
• Grooming, tacking, and horse care
• Mounting & dismounting correctly
• Walking, steering, stopping & backing
• Learning a balanced two-point position
• Posting the trot & learning the correct diagonal
• Sitting trot basics
• Developing a steady, independent seat
• Proper use of hands, legs & seat
• Circles, changes of direction & transitions
• Poles and cavaletti exercises
• Ground poles to help develop rhythm and accuracy
• Building confidence over small cross rails
• Learning how to approach a jump correctly
• Understanding pace, rhythm & straightness
• Safe jumping techniques and proper position
• Most importantly—building a confident, capable young rider! 🩷
Jumping isn’t about how high you can go—it’s about learning the foundation, balance, rhythm and control that will make you a better rider over fences.
Each lesson will be tailored to the rider’s age, experience and comfort level. We’ll progress at their pace while keeping things fun and educational! 🐎✨
