At WestWood Farms LLC’s private and secluded riding retreat, saddle-savvy instructors teach riders of all skill levels the ins and outs of English-style horse riding. Lessons begin with 10 minutes of pre-ride instruction, covering topics such as proper tack-up procedures, brushing technique, and conversation starters for between gallop lulls. During the next 40 minutes, instructors tailor riding lessons inside a state-of-the-art arena to each rider’s experience and comfort level. Participants end their sessions by learning basic horse care and dismount form before filling up the horse’s gas tank as a courtesy to the next rider.
