Szymoniak Horsemanship Riding Academy offers weekly western riding lessons for youth, ages 6-18 in a family friendly, safe, fun and encouraging environment for riders of all levels from beginner to advanced.
Lessons are curriculum and levels based. Science has proven that in curriculum/levels based programs students progress faster because they have a "road map" to know where they've been and where they are going. So whether you're a beginner just learning to ride or a more experienced rider wanting to sharpen your skills, our lessons will transform your riding.
We start at your level and it’s our goal to help riders advance to the best of their abilities, while promoting good horsemanship, good sportsmanship and having lots of fun. Riders wishing to haul in their own horses are also welcome. Training and coaching for horse shows is available as well.
When it comes to horses, it's not just about riding them. It's about learning how to clearly communicate with them and the only way to clearly communicate with them is to understand how they think and process information. This is most effectively accomplished from the ground.
In our horsemanship lessons students learn about horses and how to "speak the horses language", care for horses, tack & equipment, Students will learn how to saddle & bridle a horse, trust, respect and bond with a horse as well as gain trust, respect and bonding from the horse. These lessons will have opportunities for hands-on learning, demonstrations, talks from vets, farriers, chiropractors and other equine practitioners.
Horsemanship is the the art of understanding how horses think which is essential to creating long lasting bonds and friendships with these amazing and elegant creatures.
Whether you are 18 years old or 100 years old, we can get you in the saddle for the first time or the empty nester who wants to get back into the saddle again.
