Our Introductory courses are designed to get your feet wet and make sure you're prepared to safely start your riding lessons. This is the best way for all students entering our program to get started! And no big commitments!
Our Level 1 Course is designed to get you comfortable with horses and gain the basics of a solid foundation of Horsemanship, including grooming, balanced riding, controlling the horse independently, and so much more...
In our Level 2 Course, students are now expected to be able to groom and tack up on their own, and ride independently, focusing on trot work, posting, and more. Their level of horsemanship now truly grows as they will learn anatomy, parts of tack, and much more...
The Level 3 Course is designed for the passionate and hard working rider. By now, you have dedicated countless hours to learning about advanced theory and riding skills, and different ways to exercise and care for your horse. Yet there's MORE to learn!
In our highest level course available, students prepare to graduate from our program. With the high standards of Silver Stirrup, we only send our students off with all the knowledge a horse person should have before heading off to show, compete, lease or own a horse, or for some of you, one day embark on the path towards becoming an equine professional.

Please also be aware that there is no main office at this facility, so there will be no one to speak to about our program or take a payment, if you have not scheduled an appointment ahead of time!
