Instruction is tailored to each individual and we’re equipped to provide lessons for youth and adults of all ages:

  • Youth starting at 6 years and older
  • Adults of any age

Over the years we have specialized in starting beginners with building a foundation of good habits, to adults who have never formally learned to ride or have fear issues.  We are not a daycare for entertainment.  Our love and passion is for those who seek to advance horsemanship skills to heights of proficiency that bring joy and pleasure to this wonderful activity. 

We are proud to say we have always gotten folks back in the saddle with a smile on their face. From Beginner to Advanced levels, we can personalize a Lesson Program to fit your own personal goals.

There are LOTS of options to enjoy and learn about.   Why not try another type of discipline such as driving or packing.  You may find out you like it!  …or at least say you tried it!  Scroll down for more information about our Chambers Stables Lesson Programs.

Like our son Jack quotes frequently about all the options:
Sushi Anyone??

It’s one thing to know how to do something, but it takes Amazing Grace to be able to teach it.”

Frequently Asked Questions

Knowledge is power, we will show you and break down the steps for riding or driving, and tell you why each step is important.  We focus on you being in control with a clear understanding. 

We teach in three different ways:

Telling you so you can hear what to do, then showing you what to do, (and if necessary we will have another horse we can demonstrate from).  Lastly,  allowing you to do it yourself with our guidance. 

Good!  That is how we learn and thankfully our horses or mules are very forgiving to us. 

Absolutely not.  Riding done correctly should be easy on you and the horse.  We like to teach how balance and finesse for you to be one with this animal, makes it easy.  We have horse or mules and tack that fits all sizes. 

First check with your doctor, and then give us a call and we can discuss many out of the box ways we can use in order to get you back in the saddle again!  Driving is always a option if riding may not be.   As you can tell we don’t take “No” for an answer.😊

You may find some new muscles who popped up and said, hello guess who I am,  but riding taught correctly should not be a no pain no gain type work out.  

If you rest you rust, and we all agree staying active is good.  Unlike a bicycle you park in the garage when you don’t feel like it,  animals take time and dedication.  Riding or Driving requires our bodies and minds to work both equally left and right side.  Riding helps our muscles and a brains work together for communication with a 1000 pound animal. 

 

Yes we have a large group of 4 legged friends that we use for lessons.   And if you decide you eventually want to own your own horse or mule, we are happy to help you find the right one that fits you!

We suggest you bring your own personal riding helmet and pair of boots with a heel, and comfortable clothes suited for the season.

We understand, and look to our lesson horses or mules for their confidence that everything will be alright. Then at your pace,  we will take small slow steps to build your own confidence and trust.  It may take time, but it is possible for you to get your love of riding back again!

Lesson Horses
