We’re
confident clients will know and appreciate the quality program we offer.
Our instruction always emphasizes safety and common sense. Both
the horses and equipment used in our program are exceptional. The
horses are fit, well trained, regularly shod, meticulously cared for and
safe. Saddles and other equipment are of excellent quality, most
brand new and everything is in excellent condition. We
do sell horses but if this isn’t an option for you, we feel our
program can be an inexpensive alternative to horse ownership. We
offer year long programs for lessons and for leasing. Riding is
a great sport for children. It gives them the opportunity to learn
commitment, responsibility, and work ethic that will serve them throughout
their lives. We also have many adult riders who have previously
ridden, as well as those just starting out. Riding is a great way
of dissolving the stress of a busy day. The beautiful grounds at
Gallop On can be yours to enjoy on horseback.

On’s “hands on” program is designed to make horsemen
and women, not just riders. The discriminating horse enthusiast
will enjoy our attention to both the horses and the riders’ safety
and well being. All students are required to complete several private
lessons before riding in groups. Everyone learns to groom and tack
his or her own horse. Qualified (ability level) riders may substitute
recreational rides for makeup lessons with an instructor’s approval.
We also offer leasing. It’s a great way to enjoy a horse on
a personal level and not have to make the commitment of ownership until
you’re ready. Our
pricing policy reflects our philosophy that consistent hands on experience
helps riders reach their equestrian goals much quicker. We recommend
that students ride a minimum of twice weekly. We require
you ride a minimum of once weekly. To assist you our program is
designed so that students taking two or more lessons a week will find
exceptional value for their money. Having
several riding instructors brings diversity to our program. We are
able to match rider and instructor personalities to make the learning
experience fun as well as safe. Some instructors are more patient
and understanding with the younger students and some are better suited
to assist the adults learn the steps in becoming an equestrian.
It also presents everyone with more options when it comes to scheduling. We
invite you to the farm to meet the horses and the instructors while your
looking at our facility. It is important to us that the individuals
riding here are comfortable with our philosophy and safety standards for
both horses and students. Please stop and interview us at your convenience.
