**As of 3/8/23 our lesson program is full with a wait list. You may contact us to be placed on the wait list or for recommendations of other barns in the area.**
Crooked Creek Farm offers private and group lessons onsite. Private lessons are 30 minutes of instruction. Group lessons (2-6 riders) are 45-60 minutes of instruction. After the beginning level, riders are required to have their horse tacked up by lesson time and/or be able to cool their horse out and untack afterwards. We require beginner riders to take private lessons until they are able to successfully walk and trot without assistance.

Lessons include everything from horse care to riding. We strive to teach a comprehensive knowledge of horsemanship, safety, and independence. In the saddle we focus on primarily hunter/jumper skills while bringing in a few theories and techniques from dressage. On the ground we work on everything from saddle fitting to equine first aid.

2023 is divided into five riding sessions. Each riding session requires a commitment of all 9, consecutive weeks. Riders should commit to a day and time and plan to be at the barn during that time every week. Lessons are $65 each. The dates below are tentative and subject to change.

Spring: March 26 to June 3, No Riding April 9-15

Late or Cancelation Policy
12 Hour notice of cancellation in required. Lessons cancelled within 12 hours will still be charged to the student-No Exceptions.

Students who forget about a lesson, don’t show up or call to cancel, or don’t want to ride, will still be charged for the lesson and will not be rescheduled.

If lessons are cancelled at least 12 hours in advance, you may schedule a make-up lesson within that same month or four-lesson plan. You may be asked to join a level below that which you ride. Rescheduling lessons on short notice is based on availability and cannot be guaranteed. Lessons that cannot be rescheduled will not be refunded.

Any lessons cancelled by Crooked Creek Farm will be rescheduled at the convenience of the rider.

Due to having back to back lessons, you must arrive on time for your lesson. Arriving late does not extend your allotted time slot; you will receive a shortened lesson. If a student is more than 15 minutes late to a lesson, the lesson may be cancelled. Arrive at least 5 minutes before your lesson. If you are running late please contact Savannah (803-818-8763) or Tammie (803-517-5131).
