Birtwick Park Stables Equine Academy

Our program is unique in a way where we don't just teach you how to ride but we teach you how to be a horseman. Students have lessons in the classroom as well as the ring. You will learn everything you need to know about your equine friend and how to take care of them.

 
We understand when it comes to horses it's not all about the ride but everything leading up to your ride.
 
 
In this program you will learn:

-      Anatomy of the horse          - How to tack up and parts of your tack

-      Worming of your horse         - How to maintain a healthy horse

-      Proper grooming                 - What your vaccines mean

-      Feeding and Nutrition           - Wound Care

Birtwick Park Stables Riding Academy Advanced Riders

This program is designed for students who already know the basics of horse care. These students should be able to tack up their horse correctly and with no assistance. The advanced rider program focuses on the rider’s development and the development of their horse. We will build on the foundation you already have and improve upon your skills. This is for riders looking to improve not only their own riding but the movement of their horse as well. Each student will have a customized lesson plan based on their equine goals. Whether your goals are to show, to safely trail ride or get fit for your horse, we have a program for you.
These lessons are only offered as Private and Semi-Private lessons.
 
Private Lesson: $40                
Semi-Private: $35
