Riding and Horsemanship Program

 

 

Welcome to Bella Rosa where we look forward to the opportunity to help you and your family explore the world of horsemanship and horseback riding.

We strive to provide a happy and safe environment for everyone; students, parents, visitors, horses, and instructors.

 

Beginners

 

The beginner program is structured to provide maximum one-on-one instruction in a ½ hour private lesson.  All riders including beginners are required to groom and tack their horse both before and after the lesson. This time is called tack up and is completed under the supervision and assistance of our working students.

 

During tack up the riders will learn the importance of proper horsemanship and have the opportunity to bond with their horse. As students become independent in tack up and are able to walk, trot, steer, and stop their horse with good control they are eligible for group lessons. Students must demonstrate this ability on several of the school horses before joining a group.

 

Group Lessons

 

CLASS SIZE: Class size varies depending on the skill level of the riders in the group. Class size determines the length of time for the group lesson. For 2, 3 or 4 riders the lesson is an hour. Our instructors can easily provide quality instruction to each and every student.

 

TIME STRUCTURE: Lessons normally will require approximately a two-hour time block; this allows for grooming and tacking before the lesson, 45-60 minutes of instruction time (depending on class size), and un-tacking, cooling out, and grooming time after the ride. Occasionally, because of inclement weather, it might be necessary to stop riding a little early, in which case extra time will be added to a subsequent lesson.
