is an experienced horse person, must be able to demonstrate required skills & procedures and/or pass our Equi-Basics exam
- If one is an existing
member that has not previously taken this course, he/she must also pass the examination and/or demonstrate the required skills

new member or a beginner starts our programs and/or lessons. One does not have
to wait to start riding lessons!
Classes are offered 2-3 times per week, as the
need arises.
Students may take more than one class per week.
The information presented with this course is
basic. More detailed courses are available in our Equi-Studies programs.
There are 12 classes within the course. A new experienced student / member may only have to take a portion of the course if
the results of his/her exams dictates so.

Payments may be split into 3 installments of $40. Each installment is due no later
the Saturday before the next unpaid appointment.
