Lesson Program
Our staff of outstanding instructors at Fox Trot Farm have been teaching beginner, intermediate and advanced riders for a combination of over 30 years. The lesson program at Fox Trot Farm teaches riding and natural horsemanship from the ground up. Regular weekly lessons emphasizing correct position, control, safety and true horsemanship are offered of learning both mounted and un-mounted. There are opportunities to start showing at any level from schooling shows on up. We emphasize sportsmanship and personal goals as well as equitation and safety. Most importantly we focus on good care and respect for the horse and genuine love of the sport and the true art of riding. We have fun and hope you do too.

Beginner - For the true beginner.  In this class you will learn how to halter, lead, groom and tack a horse, knot typing and safety awareness.  While mounted you will learn how to walk and trot independently in an arena with others and steer a horse through an obstacle course.  Balance is a crucial component learned at this stage.

Beginner/Intermediate -Beyond the true beginner skills. Our class advances the skills such as stirrup and girth adjustments, balance, steering/control, coordination, problem solving and organization. 

Skills at the trot such as 2-point position, circles, serpentines and figure 8's become a focus.  A student may spend as many sessions as necessary at this level to become competent before going on to the intermediate level.
 
Intermediate - Has mastered the beginner/intermediate skills.  This class will add skills such as bending exercises for the horse, lateral movements, different lengths of stride and pace, and how to get the horse "on the bit".  This will be coordinated with learning the basics of jumping class, dressage or western reining.

Advanced - Our advanced class is for refinement and polish in jumping, dressage, eventing and western reining.  This course will be a collaboration between the rider and the instructor to determine the specific content.

All classes have a set curriculum. Riders will need to show proficiency in order to advance to the next class.  Due to the importance of understanding and practicing the basics, many individuals may need to repeat a level until they are comfortable with the skills they have acquired.
