Every class is adapted to meet each rider’s individual needs, strengths, and learning style. Parents and caregivers are welcome to watch and sometimes participate. Children, youth, and adults are served. Lessons are offered as five 8-week sessions. Group lessons are $500 per 8-week session and private lessons are $800 per 8-week session.
