Riding Programs

---

Holly Hill's focus is to develop our riders in a safe and friendly atmosphere on well-trained horses and ponies. Our lesson program is taught by qualified professionals and our group lessons have a maximum of four per group. Riders can take lessons just for the fun of it, but there is always the opportunity to compete when you are ready. Please contact us to book a trial lesson.                   (613) 362-6036

Intro Lessons: 30 min

Beginner riders will learn the basics of safety, grooming, tacking up, and basic controls while mounted on one of our experienced school horses/ponies.  The horse will be under control of the trainer at the same time as the rider because of the lunge line.

 1:1 student/teach ratio.

Group Lessons: 1 Hour

Riders are grouped in accordance to their level.

They work on individual and group exercises to improve their skills. These lessons must be pre booked in a specific slot.

Groups consist of 3-4 riders.

• We recommend purchasing a properly fitted approved riding helmet and boots with a heal (preferably paddock boots or riding boots). We have helmets that can be used until such time as you decide to purchase your own.
• Proper attire for lessons includes a neatly fitted T-shirt or Polo shirt (no tank tops or tube tops), a neatly fitted sweater or jacket in the colder weather, and pants such as breeches, jodhpurs, stretch pants, or fitted jeans.
• Long hair should be tied back in a pony tail or braid. It could also be fitted up under a helmet in a hairnet. We recommend that loose fitted jewellery not be worn during lessons as it can get caught on something.
