Lessons

The horsemanship classes
are taught at
Dutch Meadows
Equine Facilitiy.

Classes consist of learning to
handle and manage horses,
understanding equipment,
riding and training horses,
and overall safety.  Classes
can be taken as ongoing
lessons or as limited courses
and can be tailored for the
beginner or for the more
advanced rider.    Private and
semi private lessons are
available.  For more

If you are a complete beginner, we
have classes designed to bring
you to proficiency with horses.

Starting with a survey of
equipment, terminology, and
techniques for handling horses,
the pace of the class will depend
on the student and every effort is
made to maintain safety and
facilitate understanding.

Students will be introduced to
handling horses and will develop
balance, style, control, and comfort
while learning to ride in a fun and
relaxed atmosphere.  If you have
ever dreamed of getting into
horses but never knew where to
start, our classes are for you.

Call us to arrange your first class
and enter into the wonderful
equestrian world.  
Horses forge the mind, the
character, the emotions
and inner lives of humans.
People can talk to one
another about all these
things and yet remain
distanced and lonesome
A horse is nobility without pride,
friendship without envy, beauty without
vanity.  His grace is laced with muscle,
and strength by gentleness confined.
He serves without servility; he has
fought without enmity. There is nothing
so powerful, nothing less violent; there
is nothing so quick, nothing more
patient.
