What can I expect?
Our English and Western coaches currently train through Ready to Ride Training at the Stanwood Equestrian Center! Lessons are conducted upon evaluation of the individual rider’s skill set, and our coaches will work with the rider to advance no matter what stage of the riding career they are in. Lessons are coordinated with Ready To Ride through the team and include private, semi-private and group practices. We take lessons on the horses from the Ready to Ride program, which range in their temperament and skill set. Lessons consist of strength and conditioning, pattern practice, and equitation.
