Riding Lessons

Flowered Rock Riding Lessons

Each Flowered Rock Riding Club Member will receive an hour long lesson, once a week. The riding lessons encourage each child to work at his/her own level and at the same time...have something tangible to work towards! We have developed 60+ equine-related skills for the children to attain. Along with each of these achievements, we have created a sticker that signifies the achievement. Once the child has accomplished the achievement, he/she will be awarded a sticker to keep as a momento signifying the mastery of a skill. These achievements have been split into eight mastery groups. These include the following:

Barn Ground

Riding Medical

Educational Community Service

Training Personal

To heighten the comradery amongst riders, we will spend a few minutes at each lesson announcing each rider's progress/goals and any achievement stickers earned during that week. The rider will be told exactly what steps will need to be completed successfully in order to masater each skill and earn the sticker.

As long time educators, we know the importance of children balancing academics with extracurricular activities. Therefore, we designed a very important, motivating sticker, the Scholar Rider. We will be acknowledging students who are meeting their highest level of potential in school and concurrently achieving as a 'Flowered Rock Rider.' Parents will have input as to the specific mastery criteria for this sticker. We strongly believe that success in one area, such as riding, can be used as a springboard for success in all areas of life. Thus, as a child learns a system of goal achievement as a 'Flowered Rock Rider,' we expect that he/she will be able to transfer these skills to other areas, such as academic progress.

Children can come and go from the club as your family's schedule permits, and when space in the club is available.
