Academy Riding Lessons 2023
At Stratford-Fox Run we provide safe school horses to all levels of our academy riders. Our instructors are experienced and share information in a positive manner. Beginners are taught the basics, starting with correct brushing and tacking up techniques, followed by one on one time in the saddle on the lunge line. All students are taught correct horsemanship skills, both on the ground and in the saddle. Whether you wish to ride for pleasure or achieve success in the competition ring, our team can help you reach your goals in a friendly and safe learning environment.
