Gilchrist Farm Equestrian Program
Horseback Riding Lessons
At Gilchrist Farm, we have a holistic approach to horsemanship. Learn about horses from the ground up. We teach a comprehensive view that gets you prepared to own your own horse, enhances your relationship with your horse or just simply provides a safe and fun experience for adults and children. We teach English, Western, and Driving and are here to prepare you for the arena, the show ring or the trail. Introductory lessons through advanced competition. Fun show, parade and play days onsite.
Lessons available daily, multi-lesson packages available. To schedule your lesson or meet the instructors contact us.
For our younger friends, we offer Junior Lessons on our sweet ponies or horses! These shorter 1/2 hour lessons teach all the basics of good, safe and effective horsemanship in a shorter lesson format, ideal for younger riders. Junior lessons are $45 and are appropriate for children ages 3-6. To schedule, contact us to arrange a lesson. For our school age children though adults, the full hour lesson for $60 teaches a comprehensive approach to riding and horsemanship. Contact us to schedule your lesson info@gilchristfarm.com.
