RIDING SCHOOL PROGRAMS
At Glendon Stables Riding School, our focus is to teach all the basics of riding and good horsemanship in a fun and encouraging atmosphere. Lessons consist of building strong basics in flat work, a solid foundation in equitation and an introduction to jumping when the rider is ready.
Riding school is held in our 85’x 205’ well ventilated and insulated arena, as well as a fenced outdoor sand ring.

Private Lessons
Semi-Private Lessons
|
Private lessons are mandatory for beginner riders, but available for any level of rider who enjoys learning in a one on one atmosphere. Private lessons can be run in 30 minutes, 45 minutes or 1-hour sessions.
Semi-private lesson riders must be able to control their horse or pony independently and safely to be able to share 45 minutes with another rider of a similar skill level. These riders will enjoy the extra riding times in a slightly more advanced lesson curriculum then beginners.
Small group lessons consist of 1 hour riding time with up to a maximum of four riders. All four riders will be of similar skill levels and able to manage their horse or pony with a group or independently, safely.

What our Clients are Saying
My daughter started riding at Glendon Stables in July 2015 and from the very first lesson she had, we felt like part of the family. The coaches are extremely passionate and knowledgeable and their dedication to their craft is first class. Not only is my daughter excelling at riding, the coaches also take the time to teach their students about safety, horsemanship and the importance of communicating with your horse or pony. The barn itself is exceptionally clean, the viewing area is inviting and warm and you can always guarantee that the proprietors, Nancy and Claire will pop in to say hello. No matter what level rider you are today or aspire to be, Glendon's staff will help you attain your goals. My daughter counts down the days for when she gets to go back for her next lesson and we as parents could not be happier with her progress so far. Thank you to the Glendon Stables family, it has been an amazing journey so far!
