RIDING  & DRIVING

LESSONS

Nothing puts a smile on someone's face like the joy of learning to ride a horse, and we're ready, willing and able to help you and your family develop an ear-to-ear grin. At Lenux, we offer riding and driving lessons for every skill set from age three (3) and up. Our first priority is safety, but our second priority is to ensure that all of our riders and drivers have an enjoyable experience. Our goal is to help each rider learn a new skill with every visit to the barn. As a result, we can help riders achieve their personal best while having fun throughout the process.


While many riders enjoy lessons on a weekly basis, others receive instruction two or three times a week. All beginning riders start with Level One Beginner Lessons and graduate to Level Two Beginner Lessons before moving into Intermediate and group lessons.
