For more than two decades, the handlers at J.E.M. Stables, Inc. have opened their 25-acre plot of land to fellow horseback riding enthusiasts eager to polish their skills. Four instructors and 25 lesson horses team up for lesson in English and Western riding styles geared toward beginners as young as 5 and advanced riders alike. Group and private sessions may unfold outside on the lighted 150’x220’ ring or within the indoor arena, where students can practice while spectators look on from the observation lounge. In the summertime, the arenas also set the stage for five-day camps, when youngsters take part in clinics and demonstrations dedicated to topics such as grooming, tacking, and equine dentistry.
