Beginner II lessons will emphasize balance on a horse and over jumps, the basics of riding and control, relaxation, light hands and a relaxed seat. Riders develop strength to use leg pressure, control their body to quietly mount and balance to dismount.
INTERMEDIATE
Intermediate lessons are for riders who have mastered basic skills and will build from the foundation you have put down and help you move towards more advanced techniques.
Intermediate students will further develop seat and hands, transitions within the gait, and learn how to jump over cross-rails and verticals as well as show-jumping course work, technique, and skills.
