HORSEBACK RIDING LESSONS
Randalayne Stables offers horseback riding lessons to people of all ages and of any experience level, including beginner riders.
Horseback riding lessons include learning how to tack up your horse (getting your horse ready for the lesson), learning how to ride your horse, and learning to take care of your horses' needs.
Randalayne Stables provides their students with the option of Seasonal Shows. These shows are held at various fairgrounds throughout the year allowing students to show off their horsemanship skills.
These lessons are booked individually to suit the students' and coaches' time availability. If interested, please Alayna Hubick at randalaynestables@gmail.com
Hourly private horseback riding lessons are $65. This is a one-on-one time with the coach and horse. The student learns how to brush, pick feet, tack up and learn their lessons depending on their riding level. Students horses that they ride depend on their riding level, beginner students get beginner mounts.
​
Hourly group horseback riding lessons are $55. This lesson hour can have up to three riders with the coach. The student learns how to brush, pick feet, tack up and have a lesson with the divided attention of the coach. The same applies to the riding level and mounts.

My focus is on horsemanship skills opposed to the more corporate school of riding. I teach people how to talk to horses with their body language and expressions. For example, if you are afraid your horse can tell from how you carry yourself and your facial expressions. The horse does not know that the student is afraid of them, simply that there is an air of fear; the horse is unsure of whether they should be afraid as well. Many of the students I work with is to build confident because so many have been thrown off/shaken by unsafe horses in other schools. This also feeds into why I teach dressage vs eventing. I prefer to teach how to ride so the horse is healthy and happy for many years; I aim for horses longevity. (Whereas, many modern approaches 'use and abuse' then put them out to pasture.)

Our summer camps are running July 21st - 25th and August 11th - 15th; the hours are 8:30 - 4:30 other drop-off and pick-up times can be arranged at an additional fee. These include riding horses in the morning in groups, lunch, activities with horses in the afternoons and my own lessons around horse care/health. The riding hours are different each day, we focus on dressage one day and a nature walk the next, etc. My equine chiropractor gives a demonstration for both weeks of camp, introducing campers to the importance of maintenance for horses. I also provide water activities so campers should bring swimwear for these activities. The week is $385.
