Lessons
Rushlow’s has four trainers on staff and two additional instructors. Combined we have over 150 years worth of equine experience out in the ring educating riders of all ages.
Our lessons are geared to match the level of the rider(s) adjusting and changing the approach we take to match the individual. We spend time educating our students on all aspects of the horse, from body parts to breed. Our programs cover everything from proper stall etiquette, tacking up a horse, leading the horse, mounting, dismounting, and last but not least, actually riding.
We have in excess of 12 lesson horses on staff at any given time. Our horses are ready and willing to help teach individuals of all ages about the art of riding. Most of our lesson horses are retired show horses that have had a wealth of experience in the show ring and are now enjoying a second career educating and entertaining others.
Rushlow’s offers lessons in Hunt Seat, Saddle Seat, and Western Pleasure. Each lesson runs on the hour and for an hour in length.
Riders MUST be at least 6 years of age in order to ride. No exceptions.
All lessons are by appointment only and go by the hour.

Note for New Students
Lessons can be booked with as little as 24-hour notice, but it is recommended that you book your lesson at least one week in advance to ensure you have a spot in the class or the time you desire is available for a private lesson.
If a lesson needs to be cancelled or rescheduled, we ask you do so 24-hours in advanced or you will be charged your full lesson fee for not showing up.
Riders MUST be at least 6 years of age in order to ride. No exceptions.
Lessons will not be given when temperatures dip to 10 degrees or lower. During the colder weather, free hot beverages will be available in the evening and on Saturdays
For your comfort and safety, please dress in long pants with a closed-toe shoe. We have helmets available at the farm to use until you purchase your own.
We highly recommend new riders to book private lessons in order to receive individual attention from their instructor. Once the rider shows confidence and skill in safely steering their horse, then we open the option to ride in a group, if you so choose.
