There simply is no other facility in the area that offers the value that we do for Saddle Seat and driving lessons.

Lessons are given Tuesday – Sunday afternoon and evenings, call to set up your appointment. We recommend each student ride at least once per week to insure the students muscles develop properly, this will allow each student to progress at a rate that will make the learning experience full of fun and accomplishment. The more lessons that are taken per week, the faster the student will progress.

Attire: Every student must wear long pants, preferably jeans and a good sturdy shoe with rubber soles, preferably a boot with a small heel. It is recommended if the student decides to continue riding, you purchase riding pants called Kentucky Jodphurs (not breeches), this will prevent the seams on your jeans from rubbing and making soars. If you decide to buy Kentucky Jodphurs, please ask us first, we have some resources where you can purchase quality, affordable Jods. It is also recommended that you purchase riding boots, as well.

Price: Each 30 minute, private riding lesson is $20

Lesson Cancellation. We request that if you are unable to make your lesson appointment, you call us to cancel 24 hours in advance. Lessons not canceled 24 hours in advance may be subject to a cancellation fee.

Arrival: We request that you arrive 15 minutes prior to the start of your scheduled lesson in order to get your horse ready to ride and have your self ready as well. If every student does this, it will help us stay on schedule and insure that you will not be waiting for us to catch up.

The Medina Riding & Driving Academy also offers physical education horsemanship classes which are ideal for home-schooled and private school children.
