What's Included in
Each Lesson?

  • Helmets: No need to bring your own—we offer a variety of helmets and sizes to ensure safety and comfort.
     

  • Buddy Stirrups:  For our smaller riders who can’t yet reach the saddle stirrups, we provide buddy stirrups to ensure stable foot placement while riding. 
     

  • Tailored experience: Whether you choose a private or semi-private lesson, we provide a customized training experience to help you grow in confidence and ability while having fun.
     

  • Horse pairing: Riders are paired with a horse that matches their skill level and needs for a safe, enjoyable ride.
     

  • Hands-on preparation: Learn proper grooming and tacking techniques, fostering a connection with your horse and ensuring safety.
     

  • Expert instruction: Once in the arena, our experienced instructor will guide you through a fun and safe riding lesson designed to build skills and create unforgettable memories. Basics include things such as:

    • Proper posture and balance.

    • Hand signals, pressure signals, and communication with your horse.

    • Techniques to walk, turn, and stop safely and effectively.

*At Black Creek Hill Farms, safety is our top priority. Helmets are required for minors to ensure a safe and secure riding experience. For adults, helmets are optional but highly recommended for added safety and peace of mind. Closed-toe shoes are required.

The farm has a number of volunteers who help guide the riders through the trails in the beautiful surrounding countryside. Our two volunteers were incredibly polite and thoughtful as they guided us through the ride. The horses were gentle and responsive. The entire experience was wonderful from start to finish. After we returned to the stables Brenda talked about the impact the horse therapy they do at the farm has had on participants. This has literally changed peoples lives. Outstanding place and people. We will absolutely be returning. Highly recommended.

Ways Riding
Can Benefit You:

  • Emotional Regulation/Stress Reduction: The rhythmic motion of horseback riding has a calming effect, helping individuals with ADHD, autism, or anxiety regulate their emotions.
     

  • Improved Communication: Interacting with horses and instructors enhances social and communication skills, especially for those who struggle with verbal communication. Horses respond to non-verbal and verbal communication, helping participants of all abilities build confidence in their interactions.
     

  • Sensory Integration: Riding can help individuals process sensory input better, as it combines tactile, vestibular, and proprioceptive stimulation.
     

  • Boosted Confidence: Accomplishing tasks like grooming, saddling, and riding helps build self-esteem.

  • Physical Benefits: Riding helps with coordination, core strength, and balance, which can be particularly beneficial for individuals with motor skill challenges.

  • Social Skills: The barn also provides opportunities to meet others and engage in a welcoming community setting.
     

  • Physical Fitness: Riding strengthens muscles, improves posture, and enhances overall fitness.
     

  • Responsibility: Caring for a horse teaches responsibility and patience.
     

  • Problem-Solving: Riding requires quick thinking and decision-making, especially when navigating obstacles or adjusting to the horse's behavior.
