Horsemanship & Riding Lessons
Horsemanship Lessons: (Ages 6+) $45/hour
Basic Riding Lessons: (Ages 6+) $25/hour
Please contact for more information and availability.
Lessons are given from June 1st - October 1st at our Facility
Celeste Bergum is instructing basic riding lessons for those who want to learn how to ride and improve their horsemanship. Horsemanship lessons differ from riding lessons as you will be learning how to make a connection with your horse and work towards building confidence on the ground and in the saddle with groundwork, desensitization, and simple training techniques.
Celeste's goal for every student is to become confident in themselves with horses and to have the basic skills needed to be able to handle, ride, and learn a solid foundation to working horses. Lessons can be private or in a group (5 students at max).
You're welcome to have lessons with our horses at our facility or Celeste can travel to you within reasonable travel distance.
Please note she does not teach showmanship or lessons in any specific disciplines.
