Riding Lessons & Summer Camps
We welcome children as young as 3 and as old as you can still get on the horse.. We have several highly experienced instructors who will help you or your child achieve the goals set out in the horse riding journey. Lessons are rain or shine in our large indoor riding arena.
We offer lessons in jumping, eventing, western, dressage, and pleasure riding, and ground work(natural horsemanship no riding) . While some students wish to compete, many ride simply for the joy of it. Whether you are a complete beginner or a seasoned rider, we believe you can find your place here. While creating the farm the main idea has always been to make it accessible and available to anyone who loves horses no matter they’re level of experience. From pleasure riding to competition showing we have a trainer for all of it. Ravenwood also has musical drill performance teams for riders who can walk trot and tack up on they’re own. There is a little pip team up to an advanced team that does glow in the dark performances. We will also take people out and around on the farm trails if you are not interested in riding in the ring.
We also coach with Ceecoaches (headset coaching sallies) so there’s no loud yelling going on and the ring is more peaceful. We have three headset systems so all trainers are in the headset for more one on one educational experience you can hear us every where you go very clearly.
