STERLING RIDING ACADEMY

Students learn beginning riding and horsemanship skills. Riders learn how to correctly and safely ride at the walk and trot. This class is suited to riders with minimal riding experience.

Leg Up riders have mastered the basics of starting, stopping and steering a horse. They can walk and should be comfortable in the trot. These riders are learning patterns and are starting to learn to canter.

Hoofbeats riders are comfortable with riding at the walk, trot and canter. Riders know their diagonals and canter leads. Course work includes beginning dressage

and cavalleti.

Full Stride riders can ride independently at the walk, trot and canter. Posting diagonals and canter leads are mastered. Riders at this level have a solid understanding of basic dressage movements and have begun jumping courses.

Participants in our camps learn more than just how to ride...all aspects of horsemanship are explored! We offer challenging hands-on programs where young riders can master the basics of horsemanship, learn unmounted skills and develop skill in the saddle.

Camps are available at the beginning to intermediate level and are offered in half-day and full-day programs.

Boarding is available for horses enrolled in our lesson and training programs and for riders who share our horsemanship passion and goals.

Leasing is available for our dedicated year round riders who are interested in progressing their horsemanship skills.
