Silver Stirrup Riding Academy




IMPORTANT NOTES:

We offer lessons and training both at our main location(changing for 2024) and wherever you are!

Note for 2024: After a hiatus from lessons between Fall '23 and Spring '24, we are starting up again with a restructure of our lesson program AND searching for a new location! We are avaialble immediately for lessons at your location(for students with their own horse), but are currently in the process of bringing our lesson horses back to one central location for lessons. We hope to be settled and ready for you this spring!

"We don't help people ride horses, we create horse people."

The Silver Stirrup Goal for instructing our human students is to bring a solid foundation of horsemanship through our 2 hour lessons, to any and every horse-enthusiast! At any age, whether you're looking for your very first experience, or you're a returning rider, we've got the horses and the qualified instruction for you!

The Silver Stirrup Goal for training is success without the stress! To help the horse and their human partner understand each other better, to promte safety, fun, and progress with help that is unique to each individual and pair- no fights, just fun!

Our focuses include the basics in Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, Western Pleasure, Gymkhana, and leisure riding. For advanced students we offer a competitive track (attending shows/competitions), as well as focus in liberty riding.

*Also please note that this is a SMALL BUSINESS with a SMALL staff, and our focus is on our school, our horses, and being present within our sessions- EMAILING is best, and sometimes there is still a long delay in resonse. We understand if not hearing back leads you to find other resources and we are sad to miss the chance to work with you, but we typically don't have administration on staff for phone calls and emails, so it is up to the owner or trainers who are busy and focused on lessons and training. We apologize for any inconvenience and truly do the best we can to communicate with the time we've got!


WHY Silver Stirrup?

For horsemanship lessons, you'll find that our typical TWO HOUR classes are competitive in price to most ONE hour riding lessons in Orange County! 

But more importantly. . .

Silver Stirrup offers more.


 Unlike many other riding schools, we make sure you understand horses, learn more than just how to climb on and off, and are able to spend ample time in the saddle without sacrificing safety or education in horsemanship. 

We won't compromise in lesson length or our 4 student per class maximum. Most classes will be 2-3 riders. With our experience and expertise, we know what it takes to give our students the MOST for their time and money. 


We strive to constantly provide a growing, supportive, safe, and FUN learning environment no matter the age of our students.

We consider ourselves to be THE extracurricular activity for youth to build character and confidence, and respect for others (two-legged and four) in our affordable horseback riding lessons. And to adults, we offer a unique stress relieving activity that is also a great workout! We mix our unique riding lessons with regular group activities and outings to meet other equine enthusiasts!

We know how to offer the most enjoyable experience and best education no matter what your equestrian goals are!
