Our Lesson Program
Horse-n-Around at the Mitchell Ranch/Watsonville, CA - Lesson Program
 | |  | |  | |  | |  | |  |
Our lesson program has been developed especially for young beginners,
though a valuable program for all ages. We will limit "Lead Line" work to
as needed only for safety. We feel that by building the correct foundation,
our students will be able to safely progress to independent/supervised
riding.
We accept and welcome beginning students of all ages.
Students will learn through "Natural Horsemanship" techniques how
horses think and respond. With this knowledge, children will develop
safe ground manners, learn to work and be around the horses safely.
Our lesson program is flexible to fit the needs of each student. We work
hard at keeping our lesson program affordable to allow all those who wish
to pursue horses an opportunity to work with these wonderful creatures.
Our lessons run approximately 1 hour long, one or more times per week.
Times will be scheduled on an individual basis.
New challenges will be presented on a regular basis as well as always
reviewing foundation work. This approach ensures that each student
continue to progress in a positive and safe manner.
Students will develop trust between them and their horse. They will learn
to work as a team with the horse and instructor. Through this process self
esteem, confidence, physical strength, trust, reward are just a few of the
qualities our students will develop.

We occasionally have schooling horses or ponies available for lease.
Leasing a schooling animal allows riding students more time to practice their riding and develop their
horsemanship skills. It also gives them a chance to really bond with their horse and experience horse
ownership with out the stress of searching for the right horse or the long term commitment.
Leases run month to month, paid one month in advance.
