Valkyrie Equestrian Center's Lesson Program offers something for everyone, whether a very beginning student or someone who has been riding and showing for years. We offer private, as well as semi-private and group lessons and recommend that students partake in at least one lesson per week to ensure consistent progress. Thanks to our indoor arena, these lessons can continue year round, regardless of the weather. Valkyrie welcomes students from age six and up.
Lessons Designed for Your Needs
Each student's lesson program is designed specifically for them with their experience, abilities and goals in mind. Students who do not have a horse of their own are matched with one of our lesson horses or ponies. Beginners will start with private lessons which may include instruction on the lunge line as well as independent riding. An attractive six session introductory package is available for first time Valkyrie beginners to learn the ropes of grooming and tacking up as well as mounted instruction.
