​Definitions of lessons
Beginner lessons:
Beginner lessons include learning terminology, grooming, tacking and walk/trot (posting and sitting) arena work. Riders will learn about their riding aids, how to maintain position in the arena and move through basic transitions and patterns while keeping proper form and balance.


Intermediate & Advanced lessons:
Intermediate and advanced riders will progress from the basics through more intensive transitions, straightness, flexions, suppling, cantering and changing leads, lateral movements, and application toward various disciplines.


Therapeutic Riding by EQUU8:
​Therapeutic riding lessons as defined by PATH International...Qualifying special needs include ADHD, autism, speech and language impairments, hearing and visual impairments, cerebral palsy, Down Syndrome, spina bifida, developmental delays, PTSD and other types of trauma, and more. Therapeutic riding is not limited to lessons supported by horse leaders and rider sidewalkers...EQUU8 has seen riders become independent of their support volunteers and discover the same freedom that "able bodied" riders love so much about equestrian activities.

The Horse Experience
​The Horse Experience is a half-day ($150, 3 hours) or whole day ($300, 6 hours including lunch and trail ride) educational crash course in horsemanship and riding from the arena to the trail. From leading and groundwork to saddling and riding, participants learn personal safety in horse handling and riding. This experience is geared toward developing confidence and empowering individuals with knowledge and excitement for horses and riding. Openings limited.

ALL OF OUR HORSE PROGRAMS HELP BENEFIT EQUU8, OUR NONPROFIT ORGANIZATION BETTERING THE LIVES OF HUMANS AND HORSES THROUGH THERAPEUTIC PROGRAMS.
