WildHeart Riding School offers a structured Home Education Program specifically tailored for homeschooling families. This program is designed to meet educational and developmental goals through a unique blend of horsemanship theory and riding practice.
We are an educational partner for home education families seeking physical education, life skills, responsibility training, and animal care education in a hands-on, safe, and supportive environment.
Our 20-min introductory lesson is priced at $40 and serves as the perfect starting point for children who are curious about horseback riding. This session is designed with two key goals in mind:
The lesson provides a low-pressure opportunity for your child to experience what horseback riding is all about. They’ll get a feel for the environment, meet the horses, and engage with the trainer in a one-on-one setting. This gives them a chance to discover whether horseback riding is an activity they want to pursue more regularly.
During this lesson, our experienced trainers conduct a light assessment to better understand your child’s:
This information allows us to determine the teaching style best suited to your child and identify their current skill level. If the child expresses interest in continuing, we use this assessment to tailor a personalized riding program that fits their needs.
If your child is interested in group lessons, this initial session also helps us evaluate their readiness for a group setting. Based on their behavior, ability to follow instructions, and interaction with the horse, we can place them in a group class that matches their developmental level—ensuring a safe and productive learning environment.
Private lessons at WildHeart Riding School are one-on-one sessions designed to provide highly personalized instruction for each student. These sessions are especially beneficial for students who thrive with focused attention or have unique learning needs and goals.
Each private lesson includes:
For complete beginners and new riders, we always start with private lessons. There is a tremendous amount to learn at the outset—from basic horse handling and equipment safety to posture and emotional regulation—and it’s important that students master these foundational skills before entering a group environment.
This approach is not only about giving them the best chance at success, but also about ensuring safety for all riders. We want to be sure that riders have solid fundamentals before working near others on horseback.
Our private lesson program is carefully tailored to each individual. We match every student with the right horse and instructor, ensuring the most supportive and productive learning environment. The curriculum is adapted to align with the student’s personal goals, interests, and pace of progression, whether that includes basic horsemanship, advanced riding techniques, or future competition preparation.
Group lessons at WildHeart Riding School provide students with the opportunity to learn alongside their peers in a fun, collaborative setting. Each class includes no more than three to four students per instructor, allowing for personalized guidance while still promoting social engagement.
Each group lesson includes:
To ensure effective learning, students are grouped by age, attention span, and skill level. This careful grouping ensures that each rider is surrounded by peers who are at a similar developmental stage. It helps avoid large skill gaps that can hinder group progress, and promotes a balanced environment where everyone can grow together and get the most out of the instruction.
Regardless of format, the curriculum covers the following areas:
Students may enroll for once, twice, or three times per week. All programs are booked by the month and designed to run in monthly sessions.
