Getting Started

  • Register for lessons using the link at the top of the page.

  • If you are new to horseback riding, you will often start with at least one private lesson to introduce you to horses. Once a new rider is competent with handling their horse on the ground and basic riding at the walk, we encourage riders to join group lessons.

  • If you have previous riding experience, your first lesson at Hidden Hills will be a private Evaluation Lesson. It will consist of a barn orientation, tacking/untacking procedures, and a brief riding evaluation to help us determine which class level would be the best for you. Evals are $40 and may be booked with any Hidden Hills instructor. From here, your instructor will recommend a riding group or set up private lessons with you.

    • Private or Group? We encourage riders to join our group lessons for several reasons: 1. It’s more fun riding with a group! 2. Learning happens during direct instructor interaction and by watching other riders; and 3. It is more cost effective. Private lessons are great for students wishing for one-on-one instruction. All of our lessons, private or group, include tacking/untacking the horse, about 30-45 minutes of mounted and/or unmounted horsemanship instruction in the arena or on the trail, and some barn chores.

  • Riding Levels (click here to see the skills learned in each level):

    • Pony Pals (ages 5-7; balance and basic aids at the walk): These 15-30 minute lessons use games and riding exercises to help young riders develop balance and become familiar with horses. Generally taught by Junior Instructors (15-18yo) under the supervision of an Instructor.

    • Level 1 (generally ages 8 and up; ground handling and aids at the walk): Students learn basic ground handling of the horse, general horse/barn/arena safety rules, grooming, tacking and untacking, and how to use the basic aids to direct the horse at a walk. Usually these are private lessons, preparing students for group lessons.

    • Level 2 (beginning trot): Riders no learn how to ride in the arena with a group, start identifying footfall and start developing rhythm at the trot.

    • Level 3 (trot and beginning canter, crossrails): Riders should be able to tack/untack independently or with minimal help. Now riders solidify the trot: sitting, posting on the correct diagonal, and two-point. They also begin learning the basics of jumping and start the canter.

    • Level 4 (canter and jump):

    • Other riding options: Some seasons we offer other riding opportunities, such as Drill Team, Vaulting, or a Trail Riding Group. Check to see what's available!

  • Enticement Stables: We offer learning experiences in a fun, family atmosphere where our trainers/instructors focus on Beginner to Novice students. Obligation Farm: Our trainers/instructors design lessons and programs for Novice, Intermediate & Advanced students. We suggest a 1 hour Private Lesson until the rider can fully control their mount.

Lesson Procedures

  • Hidden Hills teaches total horsemanship from the ground up. Toward that end, we teach our students how to prepare their horses for their lessons and how to clean up afterward.

  • Do not handle horses without first checking in with your instructor. Do not mount your horse until your instructor is ready.

  • After your lesson, you will untack your horse, unless another student is waiting to use your horse in the next lesson.

  • Parents are welcome to drop their children off or stay, but instructors do prefer that parents give instructors the courtesy of teaching uninhibited.

  • We encourage our students to participate in the schooling shows and other events hosted at Hidden Hills and off site. These are great ways to “show off” learned skills and discover strengths and weaknesses in student riding. Ask your instructor about upcoming events and how to prepare for it. All events will incur extra fees.

  • Level 3 students ages 12 and up may help with Pony Pal, Level 1, and Level 2 lessons as approved by their instructor for reduced rate practice rides.

What to Wear

  • Approved riding boots, jeans or breeches, and helmets are absolutely mandatory for all lessons at Hidden Hills, including Evals.

  • Hidden Hills provides helmets for beginning students. After that, I’m sure you’ll be ready to wear your own sweat! Your own helmet must be SEI/ATSM Approved - look for the certification sticker inside the helmet.

  • For your safety, no tennis shoes, hiking boots, or “equestrian style” fashion boots once your rider starts trotting, though we recommend proper riding shoes from the beginning. No sandals or open-toed shoes are appropriate ever, and lessons may be forfeited if proper riding shoes are not worn.
