Lessons

For beginners we start with 30-minute lessons on horses and tack provided by Runnymede. Students are taught to groom and saddle their own mount before their riding lesson.

As their riding skills develop, they are encouraged to advance to one-hour lessons, and we recommend beginning riders take one to two lessons per week.

Runnymede strives to work with each student on an individual basis in order to meet them at their level and ability. As students advance we offer lessons on their own horses as well as ours, so that they can develop as a team either to compete or just to enjoy their horse. Lessons are available in all disciplines with our emphasis being in eventing. Coaching and training for showing and competition is provided based on availability of instructors.
