Lesson Prices and Services

The First Lesson Evaluation

The First Lesson Evaluation is approximately one hour and thirty minutes in length-- (tour, lesson and evaluation) and costs $50.00 (private), $80 (semi-private: $40 per student). After you are mounted, we will assess your safety as far as awareness of yourself and your environment, your body's ability to balance and support itself, as well as any skills you might have. This is done as we discuss the technical how-tos and the ABC's of learning about horses and riding. If we conclude that you are a more experienced rider, we would then do the rest of our assessment during a warm-up period. During this lesson we will outline a plan of short-term goals for you and start their application.

The Horsemanship Class

The Horsemanship Class is required for all Azgard Farm students, regardless of their previous experience. We believe that all students should know--and practice--standard safety rules for working around horses, which includes how to approach and halter a horse in the stall as well as how to lead, groom, saddle and bridle a horse. This class is offered once a month on Saturday and must be taken within the 30 days of starting in Azgard Farm's riding program. Price for this class is $25.
