Leigh-Ann's Riding Academy

Introduction: Our barn, and the riding program I run is designed for people who are, and want to be long term dedicated equestrian riders. If you are looking for a one time ride or a trail ride I may not be the riding facility for you. If you are looking for a high end showing facility I may not be the barn for you but I work closely with some great show facilities I can recommend a barn that would fit your needs. My barn is kind of the middle ground a great place to start your horseback riding education. Please note... for your safety all riders will start riding on a lunge line or a lead rope. All riders will ride on a lunge line until riders can gain confidence, learn how to develop a proper seat, hands and to learn how to control of the horse, at the walk, trot and canter. Lunging is a great tool used in lessons Tips for Riding on the Lunge Line Read about why I start new riders on a lunge line Teaching On The Lunge Line . Riding does take a long time to master take your time and stick with it. I have been riding, training and showing horses for 20 years.
