Riding lessons are taught October – June
Venture Stables offers lessons for every kind of learner from a Beginner level to an Advanced level, ages 4 to 104. We teach the basics of Western & English horsemanship; from safe on the ground horse handling skills to a well rounded, confident riding experience ensuring that our riders and their mounts meet their full potential. Our instructors can coach you on your own horse, or you can take a lesson on one of our well mannered and safe school horses. Lessons take place in our 60×120 indoor arena, or our wonderful 100×200 outdoor arena; weather permitting.
Our instructors are qualified Equine Canada Certified Coaches , who are interested in sharing their knowledge and experience. We develop riders who know how to have fun in a safe and caring environment. We require students to wear ASTM approved helmets and safe footwear with a heel when riding. The most important aspect taught in all of our programs is safety on and off the horses.
Periodically throughout the year, we offer specialized Camps or Events. Keep checking our website for the latest information on activities and events!!
