At CLF we take great pride in our
lesson program. As this is where it all begins. Students
take a hands on approach to horsemanship. They learn
to groom, tack and properly handle their horse before
and after riding. Students are encouraged to volunteer
so that they can learn more about the care and training
of our wonderful horses. We are always in need of help.
Students are assigned their lesson mount based on their
previous riding experience (or lack there of). Sonoma
Saphire is our "perfect" lady who is great
with all level of riders. She was a jumping mount and
is now "semi-retired" giving lessons and a
little showing. Stars Legacy is our intermediate mount
who is a performance champion and is a broodmare for
CLF. She is great at teaching riders how to be a little
more assertive or sometimes a little more sensitive.
Most students begin on the longe line for a number
of lessons. They learn proper position and balance without
having to worry about controlling the horse. As they
progress their lessons become very personalized based
on their age and skill level. |
