Riding Lessons
Horseback riding is a fun activity, while also offering so many other benefits! It is a hobby, form of exercise, a sport, and a social activity! We teach “English” style riding, specifically saddleseat, and specialize in American Saddlebred horses. We have lesson horses ranging in skill level from beginner to advanced. Every horse has such a personality, and each one of our lesson horses will teach you something different for a well rounded riding education!
Benefits of Riding
- Riding is a great form of exercise! Riders will be sore while building up their muscles!
- Spending time at the barn means spending time in the great outdoors.
- Goal Oriented! Whether your goals are being the best rider you can be for fun, or to join the show team, we'll work with you to get there!
- Our Academy riding program is a team sport!
- You get to spend time with horses and other horse crazy people!
PCS offers riding in a safe, fun, and family-oriented setting. With our massive, lit, indoor arena, we ride no matter the weather. Riders are welcome to come early or stay late to groom and care for the lesson horses. Many of our young riders spend their Saturdays at the barn hanging out with horses and their barn mates.
Our lesson program is for riders 4 years of age and older. All riders under the age of 18 are required to wear a helmet. We provide helmets, but many of our riders choose to buy their own.

Your First Lesson
Before you ride, we need to have a completed liability waiver for your rider on file. Please print out and complete our liability waiver and bring it with you to your first lesson.
Proper attire is important when around horses. Please wear:
- Long pants. You don't want any saddle sores!
- Close toed shoes for safety around the horses on the ground, and while in the saddle.
- A helmet. We have some for your use, if you don't have your own.
- Dress for the weather! Our arena provides shelter, but is not temperature controlled.
If you are a beginner to riding, no problem! Feel free to sign up online for any time slot with any of our instructors, and we’ll be prepared with one of our beginner lesson horses for your rider.
Upon arrival, head down the driveway and park in the parking area behind the house. The lessons are held in our indoor arena at the back of the property. Our instructors will all be back there teaching students, so walk through the hallway in the main barn behind the house and you’ll see the big white arena building at the other side. Feel free to ask any of the other students in the barn areas for directions, or tell them it’s your first time here. We’re all happy to introduce ourselves and guide you to the instructors!
Your instructor will chat with you upon arrival about what you want out of your riding journey, and will be able to answer any questions you have about goals and about the horses at your lesson.
