Training
At Cornerstone Farm, we believe in working with both the horse and rider. A combination of weekly lessons and training rides is an ideal way to keep the horse and rider progressing nicely.
In our training rides, we provide maintenance or exercise riding for schooled horses to keep them in peak performance and our green horses are brought along slowly and correctly to instill solid basics and build confidence.
Training and lesson packages are available or owners can choose services a la carte. Contact us for more information and rates.
Riding Lessons
A correct position in the saddle yields a strong and effective rider, so we place equal emphasis on position and control. Our approach to flatwork incorporates basic dressage training: horses are ridden forward, with balance, rhythm and suppleness. This foundation allows us to jump safely and under control.
For riders who do not have their own horse, we have an introductory program with school horses available that are well cared for and seasoned teachers. At Cornerstone Farm, we teach a progression of skills both on and off the horse creating the foundation for great horsemanship and riding.
We require that riders show up 30 minutes prior to their lesson time to learn how to properly groom, saddle and care for the horse and stay for up to 30 minutes after their lesson time to learn how to properly put the horse away after riding and care for the equipment.
Looking for that next step? We do have horses available for lease. Contact Jen for more information.
Horse Shows
For riders who wish to compete, we attend schooling shows, IEA, CHJA and USEF shows throughout the show season. We can provide horses for those lesson students who do not own a horse. For more information on the Cornerstone Farm Show Team please visit our Show Team page.
