You will learn how to be safe, while having fun.

For beginners we start at the ground level and work up. Grooming, tacking, then on the ground, then in the saddle.

For intermediate riders and up, I evaluate your riding skills and start from there.

 

If you have your own horse I can come to you for your convenience or you can bring your horse to a stable I work out of if you don't have a ring or round pen to safely work in.

We can work on any problems you may be having. You can learn to better communicate with your partner.  

 

 

 

Lessons can be given in Sharpsburg, MD, and Rocky Ridge, MD (near Thurmont).

 

 

I teach Western and English.

Whether you want to trail ride, or show, or communicate better with your best friend,  this is the place for fun, while learning to be safe.

 

Helmets and boots are required when taking lessons.

 

Call or e-mail to schedule a visit at one of the locations. I would be happy to answer any questions that you may have.

 

Homeschool 6 week program. Classes are 1 1/2 hour each. Students will learn basic anatomy, health care, nutrition, and riding.

 "Our daughter has been taking riding lessons from Betsy for over a year.  Betsy does a great job and Stephanie really enjoys each lesson.  We would recommend Betsy for anyone who is searching for an experienced and dedicated riding instructor." Jeanne Eberly
                                     

 

 I can’t say enough about Betsy!!! She doesn’t just teach you how to get
on and off a horse, she teaches you to speak horse and develop a
trusting relationship with your horse. I learned more in my first
lesson with her than I had in all my other lessons combined! The Rocky
Ridge farm is beautiful and the horses are amazing. The lessons are
very relaxed but filled with useful and insightful information. You
get a well rounded education on horses; how to ride, how to care for
them, information on breeds, tack and on and on and on. Unlike most
other places, Betsy is very flexible with her scheduling of lessons and
you certainly can’t beat the price! I absolutely love every minute at
the Farm and look forward to seeing Dan (my horse) and Betsy every week. Kristen

 


 

Betsy, the Walton girls are still sending me messages asking me to visit Freckles and Sky and tell them  how much they are loved.
Everything about the riding experience was just perfecto.  Thanks once again.  If you need any satisfied customer comments for your web site you have one from me.  Suzanne

Hi Ms.Betsy,
  Thanks for checking up on Willow and I :) She is doing wonderful! I have been riding her this past week and she is not stubborn with the saddle or blanket anymore! I have a little bit of trouble with the bridle still, but we're working on that. She has calmed down a lot and she definitely pays more attention to me and I think she really enjoys my company now :) With the grass, she is not so obsessed with it and the other day I free lunged her and she looked at me and wasn't bending down to get grass every second!

She really has improved a lot and I thank you so much for your help.  Maureen
