Lessons

IMG_9067 (1)Achieve extraordinary results with your horse! Our goal is to help you advance your partnership so that you can achieve your dreams — whatever your dreams with horses may be. We focus on having more fun, staying safer, and building the relationship.

Lessons at EPI include playing with horses on the ground — both on-line at at liberty — and learning to ride in harmony with the horse.

Monthly Membership Lesson Program

Our program is based on a monthly membership, similar to a yoga studio. Dues are paid on the first of the month for the upcoming month. The amount varies based on whether there are 4 or 5 weekly lessons for that month. Dues reserve your slot in the program. This structure enables us to balance the workload for our lesson horses and ensure they get enough time for rest and recovery.

It is also the most effective way for us to support you on your horsemanship journey. We develop an individualized program to help you achieve your goals. We ensure that each session builds on the previous session. Our students report that having a pre-paid weekly commitment helps them prioritize their horse time and continue to progress even when life tries to get in the way.

Thank you so much for today’s lesson.  I’m still feeling exhilarated from it. I want you to know how much I appreciate your organized and patient teaching style.  It makes the lessons such a pleasure.

We cannot do makeup lessons for no-shows. Your dues reserve your scheduled day and time so that we can balance the horses’ workloads and progress with your individualized program. Makeup lessons are at the discretion of your instructor and if scheduled will be used within the calendar month.

We carry helmets, boots, breeches, apparel, and accessories at The Tack Trunk, located on the ranch. We also offer a wide range of new and used tack, horsekeeping supplies, and dog harnesses and leashes. You can also design your own rope halters, lead ropes, and reins by visiting our Etsy shop, EquinePartnersInc. Whether at The Tack Truck or Etsy, we can help you determine the right size and fit for your equine partner.
