We believe horses and horseback riding provide many mental and physical benefits for  people of all ages. We begin with riders 3 years and up. Our horses are our beloved pets and we want to offer you the experience of having horses without the additional costs (land, shelter, feed, hay, clean-up, etc) that goes along with owning them. We also understand that while you may love the animal, it may take time getting used to their size and strength. We offer a variety of services to meet our rider's needs in English and Western riding styles. Through natural horsemanship, our lessons teach riders how to care for, groom, feed, wash, tack-up, communicate with, listen to, ride at the walk, trot and canter, ride on a guided trail and provide preventative barn & fencing maintenance while keeping safety a number one priority. We strive to create a fun and friendly environment in which to learn the basics of horse care and pleasure riding.

Introductory Lesson- we encourage all riders to participate in an introductory lesson. During this lesson, we will review the Drafty Pines Informational Sheet and create a lesson program designed to meet your needs and goals. You will also meet the horses and learn basic safety rules for handling them. 1/2 hour $20.

All additional lessons are $35 for 1 hour private lesson or $25pp for 1 hour group lesson. Group size is limited to 3. Families are encouraged to take advantage of this offer.

**Cancellation notice is requested at least 48 hours in advance to avoid the scheduled lesson charge.**

We gladly accept cash and personal checks as payment for these services.  There will be an additional $30 fee for any returned checks.

As a part-time operation, Drafty Pines Farm and its services will be available for use on an appointment only basis. Riders can make appointments for lessons by telephone, in person or by email.
