Lessons at Green Heron Farm

Each new student must take an evaluation lesson regardless of prior riding experience. A student must be able to ride independently at walk and trot before joining a class.

Dressage Lessons:

Dressage is a classical approach to developing the horse and rider. We work on developing a relaxed and independent seat through work on the longe line as well as balancing and suppling exercises. We augment our regular lesson program with visiting instructors and clinicians throughout the year.

Jumping Lessons:

We teach jumping over gymnastics, grids and short courses. Work over ground poles and cavalettis is often incorporated on the flat to develop rhythm and balance.

Pleasure Lessons:

Since everyone gets something different out of riding, we offer a wide variety of approaches. For those who are not interested in competing or in a specific discipline, but who would like to be safe, comfortable and confident, we are more than happy to work with you. Many of our riders have gone on riding vacations all over the world, including Spain, Portugal, France, Ireland, Italy, Africa, Mongolia, Iceland as well as throughout the US. They have all felt that they were well prepared and better able to enjoy their riding experiences as a result of their lessons at Green Heron Farm.

For those students interested in competing, we offer both schooling shows here, and the opportunity to ride in area shows and competitions. Many of our students have gone on to compete at the intercollegiate level in several disciplines.
