lessons

Lessons are available at JoyRide or at your farm with very limited availability off site. Our lessons are based on an eclectic collection of techniques that is catered to each individual horse and rider team. We adapt lessons to each individual, making horsemanship accessible for all ability levels.
Lessons include riding as well as groundwork. In addition to riding skills, all riders work on handling, grooming, tacking, and other groundwork exercises, in order to develop a well rounded skill set that will keep them safe and take them far in the horse world and in other aspects of their lives.

summer camp
Summer camps are offered to current JoyRide lesson students, and are a great way to build independence, learn a lot, and make new friends while being with ponies all day!
outings
Current advanced students can go on outings, including shows, schooling, off site trail rides, clinics, etc.
training

Training, on the ground as well as under saddle, improves the horse's fitness and flexibility. Through training, horses learn to use their bodies in ways that improve their overall balance and longevity. A training session is not just an exercise ride--it is more similar to a lesson, but for the horse.
Training sessions are priced the same as lessons on your own horse.
