Course Details
In lesson 3 you will learn about basic horse anatomy and the parts of the tack we like to use. You will practice the skills previously learned then we try to pick up the pace by learning to ask for and control the horse at the trot. We will practice our skills on the trail and in the arena.
The last session has a sole focus on riding. We want to spend as much time as possible in the saddle for you to get comfortable with all your new skills. If the group is comfortable, we may even try a short canter on the trail.

Learn to ride with MM Ranch
Inside our 4 lesson block program we follow a relatively similar curriculum as the Earn Your Spurs Levels 1 and 2 but we break it up so you can carefully absorb all your new horsemanship knowledge.
We start by teaching you the foundation of equine communication, how to catch and tack your horse followed by safely getting you in the saddle and moving through the walk and eventually trot both in the arena and on the trail.
Lessons run from 1:00 – 4:30 pm
