"Hello Horse!" at
Stonecrest Farm offers Basic Horsemanship and Pre-Riding Lessons for the safety of the future rider. This is
a hands-on introduction to horsemanship for children, ages 7 and up, and for adults of all ages. Learn to safely handle
horses and ponies before going for that first riding lesson. You will receive individual instruction from a teacher
with 45+ years of horse experience. Work with friendly horses and ponies at a quiet, private stable in the country,
just outside of Charlotte, close to Mint Hill, Matthews, Indian Trail and Locust. Lessons include:
- Basic ground handling
- How
to safely catch, halter, lead and tie
- How to groom
- How to bathe (weather permitting)
- How to saddle and bridle
- Horse anatomy
- Tack care
- Basic understanding of how a horse communicates
Each
lesson lasts for 45 minutes and can be scheduled for 1 - 3 times per week, considering the instructor's availability.
The student will receive an official Hello Horse! hat at the end of the course.
(There is a simple test.) The course can be completed in 3 - 10 lessons, depending upon the student's
ability. Advanced lessons are also available. Cost per lesson: $25
