  • For $25, you get one private horseback-riding lesson (a $50 value).

At Oxford Farm’s full-service equestrian facility, owner Leslie Webb Janiak saddles up alongside students of all abilities for 45- to 60-minute lessons in basic horse-care and riding techniques. Equipped with years of expertise and a stable of well-mannered steeds, Leslie frequently travels to A-circuit horse shows and has met with success in hunters, jumpers, and grand prix competitions. During private, one-on-one lessons, Leslie leads riders across the farm’s expansive indoor arena and into its outdoor riding area. After tutorials in trotting and lassoing lethargic hay pitchers, students return to the stables to cool their horses, brush their feet, and guide them back to their stalls, allowing the horses time to polish off their hooves and floss the carrots from their teeth. Students should dress in long pants and hard-soled shoes.

If someone doesn't get back with you right away, keep trying by texting the cell number listed on their answering machine. We stopped by personally prior to our first visit to set up training. We have only had one lesson so far but our daughters loved it and can't wait to go again. They were very good with the kids.
