Lesson Information
How much does it cost?
Single lessons cost $30. Dedicated students may purchase blocks of lessons in advance at a reduced rate.
How long is a lesson?
A typical lesson for an adult lasts an hour. New riders and children may find that they do not possess the stamina to ride for quite that long. However, they quickly build fitness and are riding for an hour in no time!
No commitment is required. I do ask that you show up for each lesson that you schedule. You may schedule weekly, bi-weekly, or several times a week, space permitting. You may also join a waiting list to be called if/when another student cancels a lesson. This allows you to pick up last minute lessons for extra practice.
What do I need?
You will need long pants and hard soled shoes or boots. You don't need to buy any specifc gear to begin lessons. As your riding progresses, I can recommend gear and clothing that you might need (gloves, breeches, boots, etc). I will provide riding helmets for all students. No one is permitted to ride without approved headgear.
What can I expect?
You will meet your mount on the ground, learn to tack up the horse, and get a safety briefing before you climb aboard. You will begin your riding career slowly, working within your comfort level, to assure confident development of skills. We will discuss your goals and map out a course of instruction that suits you.
Where can I buy riding gear?
There are lots of great retailers online, but I use Equestrian Collections, Horseloverz.com, State LIne Tack, and Dover Saddlery most. Check for closeout specials and clearance deals.
Where is the farm?
Stokes Road Stables is just outside the city limits of San Angelo, TX. To protect the privacy of the farm owner (who lives onsite), the exact address is only given to prospective students who have an appointment to tour the farm, meet the trainers, or take a lesson. You are welcome to visit us by appointment.
