Training:
Maryanna will both train your horse and teach you to ride safely. Our training program includes a mix of training with Maryanna riding your horse and lessons with Maryanna providing instruction as you ride. Our training programs include vacation care for your horse at our boarding facility when you are out of town. Board at our facility, WoodMyst Farms, is not included in our price.
Maryanna encourages you to broaden your riding experience. Attending or competing in horse shows, riding in clinics with other trainers, or simply practicing your riding when not in a session with Maryanna are all encouraged.
Full training provides the fastest progress for both you and your horse. Your horse needs exercise every day. Frequent training and lessons reinforce good behavior in your horse and help you ride with good technique. Five sessions per week consisting of a mix of training and lessons are included. Scheduling is flexible, limited by Maryanna's availability.
Half training is an affordable alternative, suitable for experienced riders on older, well-trained horses. Three sessions per week are included.
Lessons:
For riders not in a training program with Maryanna, private lessons are available. The arenas at our facility provide a good environment for learning, and many students trailer their horses in for lessons. If trailering is impractical, Maryanna will consider teaching at your facility. Each lesson is 45 minutes and includes instruction tailored to your riding goals and skill level.
