Family Day $45.00/per rider/90 minutes
- This is a lesson for FFF weekly students. During this specifically scheduled lesson,
students are encourage to invite family and friends to come to FFF and watch, learn,
and be a part of the lesson. The FFF student can teach their friends/family how to
groom, tack up, and the student will have the option to ride and show off their skills.
The friend and/or family member will not be able to ride, but will get a chance to be an active part of the lesson.
All participants must sign a FFF Waiver before joining in the lesson. Come and see what FFF is all about. Support our riders. Have your family/friends get involved in your interest in horses!
Trail Time $45.00/per rider/50 minutes
- This lesson is for FFF students and FFF friends and family members to come and
ride on a trail. Trail rides will be ridden mostly at a walk. Horses and ponies will be
groomed, tacked up and ready to go by a FFF Volunteer/Working Student. Leaders
will be assigned, if needed, per my discretion.
Participants in this Trail Time lesson will be responsible for signing a FFF Waiver. Come to FFF, hop on and head out on the trails!
Ages 7-adult welcome.
Open Ride Time $35.00/per rider/90 minutes
- Open Ride Time gives students of FFF a chance to practice riding, without
instruction. Participants of this lesson must get permission from Jennifer, before

riding in an unsupervised arena. Riders participating in this
Open Ride Time are
encouraged to help one another. Please email me to sign up for this ring time and

Read FFF Program Calendar for dates that Open Ride Time is offered.
Happy Horsemanship Hours $35.00/per rider/90 minutes
- This lesson is an educational, unmounted lesson. Happy Horsemanship Hours are
an important part of the FFF program as I believe in teaching the tools to create well
rounded equine enthusiasts. In HHH, I teach a variety of activities like how to
prepare for horse shows & show groom, clean tack, study horse behavior, learn the
FFF horses diet requirements and barn maintenance.
If time allows, we may also practice the 12 FFF Divisions. HHH run in conjunction with the weather and take place in the regularly scheduled lesson time. Usually, I will send out an email the morning of the lesson, if the lesson is to be canceled or changed to HHH.
Half Pints $40.00/per rider/30 minutes
- This private lesson is a great introduction for enthusiastic, younger riders to begin
learning about horseback riding. Open to riders ages 4-7. This lesson will give
younger riders a chance to build horseback riding muscle memory, balance in the
saddle, and learn the basics of grooming, tacking and riding. All Half Pint lessons will
most likely be taught while child is on a lead rope, being lead.
No child will be allowed to ride independently until they are comfortable, confident and have enough
balance and muscle to stay in the tack.
Dressage Days $45.00/per rider/90 minutes
Dressage is the foundation for most disciplines of riding, including the Hunter/Jumper
style of riding. Dressage takes time, patience and skill. Dressage is said to be,
“Dancing with Horses”. It is a fascinating disciple. Dressage is the compilation of
movements to form a test. In Dressage Days, I will teach the very basics of dressage
and we can practice the 2007 Intro Level, tests A & B:
