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.
Lessons can be private or in a group. 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.
