 Students at Transitions receive personalized instruction tailored to the needs of both rider and horse. Our comprehensive lesson programs are designed for riders of all ages and skill levels—from beginners to advanced—and focus on safe, correct horsemanship. Lessons cover equine behavior and care, grooming, basic stable management and nutrition, anatomy and biomechanics, tack care, proper saddling and bridling, safe haltering and tying, groundwork, and calm, balanced riding.

Instructors & Lesson Levels

At Transitions, our professional and talented instructors provide instruction tailored to each rider’s experience, goals, and discipline.
