Hasty Acres

Introduction: We provide Western and English riding lessons for people of every age (starting at seven) and riding ability; from people who have never been on a horse to skilled riders who want to refine their skills. We are a complete facility with friendly, professional staff competent to teach everyone — from beginner to advanced rider. Ride in our indoor arena with heated viewing room or one of our two well-lit outdoor rings. Our riding programs offer you a way to get some exercise, relax, as well as enjoy fresh air and the outdoors. We offer a strong commitment to providing the student a quality learning experience, and the experience and knowledge to make that happen. Our commitment is to quality, and not quantity. The amount of students in every group lesson is limited so that every student gets personal attention. Students are assembled according to experience level and ability. We also try our best to put students in the same age groups. We're dedicated to providing a complete education in horsemanship. Our students get instruction not just in riding but also in right handling of horses from the ground, horse management and care, care and selection of proper tack and equipment, and much more! We offer continuous enrollment; you may begin your lessons as soon as you wish and you pay per lesson. We offer leasing for students with some experience in riding, and a desire to ride more often but without the obligations of horse ownership. We offer group and private lessons. To ensure productive learning (in a comfortable atmosphere), students are grouped by similar age and ability. Our school horses are well-mannered and patient, and are trained specially to assist in the process of learning to ride. Summer camp With our many years of experience teaching children to ride, and managing full day children's horsemanship curriculum, we provide a excellent program that will give your children a highly educational and enjoyable summer break. The camp is an excellent way for beginners to get to know horses because it offers "hands-on" experience with handling and grooming sessions as well as daily riding lessons. For experienced riders, the progression of daily lessons and the increased personal attention assist children in progressing even faster than in weekly riding lessons. At the start of a typical day, the children greet their fellow students and the horses, then groom and saddle their mounts. The morning continues with mounted riding lessons and unmounted learning sessions on such topics as horse and stable management, grooming, showing, etc. After lunch, the students may have a trail ride or games and then conclude their day by untacking their horses and giving them a final grooming or perhaps a bath. During each session, the students also plan a special presentation to showcase their skills for their parents on the last camp day. Our instructors know the significance of supportive and careful instruction. Carefully matching the student's ability with the instructor and horse, we focus on cultivating our riders' self-esteem and confidence via genuine development in riding ability. We also stress the important advantages of learning the many on-the-ground facets of caring for and handling their equine partners.
