Recreational Riding Lessons
Stevens Creek Farm
Stevens Creek Farm caters to all levels and ages of riders with both leisure and competitive objectives.
Recreational Lessons
The recreational riding program is a great way to learn to ride or to revisit the riding joys of your youth and stay in shape. The session lessons are for riders who can walk and trot around the ring independently. You may choose to participate in seasonal sessions, take lessons monthly or take lessons on a per diem basis if space allows. Beginner or assessment lessons are scheduled one at a time or by month.
Trail Riding
Trail riding is a fabulous zen type riding activity. As well as regular riding in the indoor arena like all riding schools we offer outdoor trail riding education. If you are interested in this fabulous life skill Stevens Creek Farm includes this aspect of learning to ride.
What You Need for Clothing
You need a approved riding helmet, snug fitting stretchy pants, shirt with sleeves, boots with a heel and gloves (optional in the summer). You do not have to go out and buy clothes for your first few lessons. We have helmets you can use, tights or exercise pants work, knee socks are important, snug gloves, and boots with a heel. Please no loose fitting hoodies, loopy earrings or tank tops. Hair must be tied up in one or two braids or in a hair net. If you decide to continue we recommend you purchase a helmet, paddock boots and half chaps as standard wear with stretchy pants or riding pants.
One Beginner or Assessment Lesson (1 or 2 people)
This lesson is suitable for beginner to advanced. This lesson is for beginners or for experienced riders to assess their ability for group placement or horse suitability going forward. The lesson is one hour and is divided into these three parts: get the horse, groom and tack up; ride: untack, groom and put the horse away.

To Upgrade
There are several options to upgrade. You can upgrade to two lessons a month or consider a part lease of a Stevens Creek Farm school horse. Leasing gives you three (3) days a week of riding with choice of one or two lessons per week and you get a taste of horse ownership without the full cost and responsibility of owning your own horse. Agreements vary depending on the horse. If you are interested in an upgrade please mention this to your instructor or call the office so we can explain the different options.
