We are no longer accepting lesson or ride requests for the remainder of the 2020 season. Check availability in our Barn Buddies program for fun, non-mounted activities in and around the stables and farm this fall and winter.
We are an outdoor venue. If/when weather prevents us from riding safely outdoors either in the arena or trails due to, but not limited to excessive heat, storms, unsafe footing, unpredictable Rochester weather, etc., our instructional staff will happily offer fun non-mounted activities such as grooming, ground handling, learning parts of the horse and tack, feeding, making treats, trick training, bathing, braiding, decorating a horse, hand leading,etc. Please let your instructor know if you would like to do these activities in place of riding or if you would rather reschedule all together. We know that "horsey time" is special to your child!
