Our Philosophy
We provide a positive learning environment at our riding school that will prepare you for the path to confident success ahead. Students receive a correct riding foundation, beginning with a basic balanced position. They also learn important elements of Horse Management creating well rounded, knowledgeable equestrians. Whether you are enjoying college classes, pony parties, or riding lessons, we know you will have a safe, positive experience at Rocky Branch.
Our Mission
Your success is our priority. It is our goal to teach each student to be the best, most knowledgeable equestrian whether they own a horse or not. That education takes place in the saddle, in the stall, and in the barn. You will find that in our small group lessons, students are soon comfortable learning, discussing, and demonstrating correct position and technique.
What Our Lessons Look Like
Students present their properly groomed and tacked horse for a safety check before mounting in every lesson. Once safety checked, students mount from a mounting block or a leg up. They learn supplying and balancing exercises for themselves and the horse. Students learn that correct balanced riding will keep their horse sound and fit for years to come. Happy, healthy, well trained horses make happy, confident, well trained riders. Whether in the arena or on the trail, safety comes first. Our riders learn a basic balanced position inside and outside of the arena. Following the lesson, riders care for their horses and tack, cleaning up any messes they or their horse made.
