Jefferson Valley Farm   LLC

At Jefferson Valley Farm, We provide professional instruction in saddle seat, hunt seat and western riding on seasoned, well- trained horses. Regardless of age—we have a spot for you!

Our one-hour lessons consist of teaching basic horse healthcare, grooming and saddling/tacking  the horse (15 minutes), riding and instruction time (30 minutes) and cooling off the horse after each lesson. This includes unsaddling and rinsing/washing the horse (15 minutes). For younger children, lessons are 30-45 minutes with 15-20 minutes of actual riding time as the child builds the strength and endurance for a full 30 minutes of riding time.

Every rider progresses at his/her own rate and it typically takes 7-10 private riding lessons before they are ready for group lessons.  More experienced riders should begin with a private lesson and evaluation so they can be  placed in the appropriate group for their level of skill and expertise.  For the tiny riders under age four, we provide lead- line walks.
