Riding Lessons
At HM Riding Academy, our riding lesson program is perfect for teens and young adults, but welcomes all ages. Each week, riders enjoy private, hour-long lessons where they learn everything from horse care and handling to riding skills. Our fantastic instructor provides personalized guidance tailored to each rider's level. We also sprinkle in fun facts about horses to deepen the experience. Whether you're a beginner or looking to improve your skills, come join us for an enriching journey into the world of horseback riding!
