Lessons & ProgramsIf Only Farm specializes in teaching classic english hunt-seat riding. We emphasize the development of good posture and a balanced seat with soft contact and effective aids. Skills and sensibility developed with these fundamentals creates a secure, confident and beautiful rider on the flat and over fences. We also offer instruction in dressage for those who wish to to pursue this discipline, though any rider and horse will benefit from this work. Please take a look at our Instructors to get an idea of what each of us focuses on.

We welcome riders of all skill-levels, from first-timers all the way to advanced riders who want to compete at the nationals. If Only Farm owns a number of well-trained, quality horses and ponies who can suit many different riders. If you are looking to develop a partnership with a horse of your own, we have horses available for sale and lease.
Contact us today to discuss your goals and we can tailor a program specifically for you! |
LessonsWe are fairly flexible with scheduling so it's just a matter of setting up a regular time with your preferred instructor. We have a few regular weekday evening and Saturday morning group jumping lessons for intermediate to advanced riders. Beginners are best suited to private lessons at first and then advancing to group lessons after they are proficient with grooming, walking, trotting, and cantering (W/T/C) their horse. Riders are welcome to continue with private lessons as well. Riders in a regular lesson program and who are proficient with proper horse care and W/T/C may schedule a "practice ride" using their usual lesson horse. Practice rides are dependent upon horse availability and riding ring availability, so riders should always pre-arrange practice rides with the help of their regular instructor. Please see our Fee Schedule for our current Lesson prices.
