Best Horseback Riding Lessons in Ottawa, ON

Our lesson program offers a flexible and convenient payment system, allowing riders to purchase blocks of 4, 8, or 12 lessons. Our user-friendly online portal enables riders to easily book and manage their lessons, and payment is required in advance before booking any lessons. Our payment system operates on a pay-as-you-go basis. Please note that all lessons and packages are non-refundable and non-transferable, so we encourage riders to consider their schedules and commitment level before purchasing a lesson package.

Trail riding is permitted for riders who have achieved a particular level of riding skill that allows them to ride safely on their own outside of enclosed rings. However, the instructor retains the discretion to determine the available trail riding options. Trail riding permissions are at the discretion of instructors. Jumping is also restricted to lessons only. This policy is in place to guarantee your safety and ensure that the horses are well-maintained and properly trained.

Priority is given to scheduled lessons in the arenas. Therefore, any horses that are boarded, leased, or being ridden for practice must yield to the lesson when riding at the same time. If you choose to ride during a lesson, please be mindful of the activities taking place (such as flat work or jumping) and make every effort to avoid interfering. This may require pausing for a moment to allow a lesson horse to complete a jump course or other exercises.

Our riding lessons are now conducted in a climate-controlled arena, providing a comfortable environment throughout the year, with warmth during winter and cool during summer. In the event of lesson cancellations or modifications caused by weather conditions, we will notify you via email.

Indeed, riders who have reached a certain level of proficiency in horseback riding and are capable of riding independently may opt to lease a horse and engage in practice rides in addition to their regular lessons.
