One of the best kept secrets at HART is our lesson program! Our professional trainers believe in the philosophy of natural horsemanship and classical dressage training for the safety and benefit of both the horse and rider. Classes for all levels of riding are taught on safe, seasoned school horses with the individual’s goals in mind. Whether your goal is enjoying the trails or winning a national competition, we have a class for you.
