We come to you
We travel within one hour of Fredericksburg to teach you and your horse at your own facility. Same beginner-to-intermediate curriculum. 60 to 90 minutes.

Training board
Bring us your horse.
We take time to train your partner toward your specific goals. Every week, there's an opportunity to take a lesson alongside the training so you and your horse stay in step.
For any horse starting groundwork or foundation training, we require a minimum 90-day training board. If we determine that a 30-day tune-up is sufficient after several rides, we'll sign a new training contract for that.
For dedicated learners
Working student program
For folks ready to commit serious time, learning horse care, training, and ranch life from the ground up. Working students help around the ranch in exchange for training and experience. Reach out and let's talk about whether it's a fit.

What to wear & bring
- Boots or closed-toe shoes with a low heel. No sandals, no high heels, no flip-flops. We have a few loaner boots if you forgot.
- Long pants. Jeans are perfect. Shorts will chafe and we don't recommend them.
- A helmet (or borrow ours). Required for under-18. Strongly suggested for adults.
- Water. Especially in summer. Virginia gets hot in the saddle.
- Liability release form. Download from our Forms page or sign at the barn before your first lesson.
