Horsemanship Lessons
Hosted by Pigeon Lake Horse Drawn Rides
Most horse loving kids, and their parents do not know where to go or how to get started to learn about horses. So, we here at PLHDR created a fun and meaningful horsemanship program that teaches kids horsemanship skills and safe riding through our horsemanship lessons. We will teach your rider a solid horsemanship foundation in a fun, confident boosting, safe way. Each lesson starts with you catching, grooming, tacking up your special lesson horse! Learn how to communicate with our horse on the ground and while riding. Every session will end with the after care of your lesson horse. In cases where the weather is not favorable for riding, we will still do a dismounted lesson, working on other aspects of horsemanship, and horse husbandry, in our indoor venue.
*** Horsemanship Lessons Start May 26, 2025***

Learn basic horsemanship skills at our ranch and build your personal confidence with horses. Each lesson starts with you catching, grooming, tacking up your special lesson horse with the aid of a PLHDR Intern. Then learn how to communicate with our horse on the ground and while riding. Every session will end with the after care of your lesson horse. Time Duration is 1.5 hours. If weather is not in favor to riding there will be horse theory in the Ranch School House or dismounted lesson in the barn.
