The weekly riding lesson program here at Graystone Farm is designed to be a complete learning experience for our students. Becoming an accomplished rider requires a knowledge of all aspects of horsemanship.
Our program consists of a combination of in-saddle and classroom lessons. Private and semi-private lessons are available with no more than 3 students per lesson.
Students not only learn to ride, but they also learn what it means to be responsible for the care and well-being of a horse, about different riding styles, tack, psychology, anatomy and much more!

Homeschool Horsemanship ProgramThis lesson program is designed specifically for homeschool families. Each monthly session includes a classroom program as well as an in-saddle lesson. Our goal is not just teaching children to ride horses, but also instilling in them good positive character traits that they will take with them throughout life - respect, responsibility, self-discipline, compassion, perseverance and more. By learning how these things relate to horses and our relationship with them, we hope the children will better understand the value of these same character traits in their own lives.

For those little ones who want to ride more than once a month, but are too young for the weekly youth program, we now offer a special program just for you. These private lessons provide the one-on-one attention required for this young age group. Sprouts participate in all the "big kid stuff" and get to help with the grooming and tacking up prior to their in-saddle lesson. This program is a wonderful supplement to our monthly Pony Club Program and gives the little ones a chance to do more hands-on work with the ponies.
