Beginner Lesson Program
At Trilogy, we have multiple options for students who would like to get started learning about horses and riding!
Our beginner trainers are very passionate about creating a fun learning environment for their students. By incorporating more than just riding in our programs, our students gain even more horsemanship knowledge as well as transferable skills that they can use in everyday life!
Whether your student has already caught the horse crazy bug or is just a bit curious about what goes on at the farm, we have opportunities available to allow their passions to blossom.
Intro to Horses - Fall Semester Starting Soon!
During this semester long course, students will learn the basics of all things horses!
This includes an introduction to:
- Horse Care
- Riding
- Gaining independence handling horses
This program is designed for students ages 7 and up who are just starting their horsemanship journey or who would like to see if horseback riding is something they would enjoy. Ages 4-6 can start off in our private lesson program (more info below). Students that are 6 y/o and would like to be considered for the Intro to Horses program can do an evaluation lesson to determine if a group setting would be a good fit.
Our goal is to give students an opportunity to gain a basic understanding and appreciation for the sport through fun horse related activities that not only help them learn about horses and riding, but also help to foster independence, self-confidence, and caring for others, which help our riders outside of the barn as well!

Horsemasters Club - Levels Program
What is our Levels Program?
Our Horsemasters Club is organized by a series of levels based on specific learning objectives and skills. Each level has goals and skill assessments, keeping students motivated and excited for their progression in the sport. Once each level is completed, students will graduate and move into the next set of courses. We take our riders through a custom program, building their skills both in the saddle, as well as on the ground.
Our goal in our Horsemasters Program is to bring young equestrians from beginner to intermediate riding levels, while also introducing them to horsemanship topics that expand way past basic grooming to give them a well-rounded education in all things horses!
How does it work?
Students will first complete an evaluation lesson with one of our beginner trainers. This is an opportunity to meet our trainers, see the farm, ask any questions you may have, and assess where the best fit for your student would be within the program.
After an evaluation lesson, riders will be placed in a group or private lesson based on experience, age, and availability. If placed in a private lesson to start, once students are at a level where they would be comfortable riding as a group, they can join a group lesson time.
Students will meet weekly at their lesson time. In addition to their mounted class, we have our Saturday morning Horsemanship classes! One Saturday class per month is already included in your tuition, but if your student would like to join more than one/month they are welcome to! Additional horsemanship classes are $20/class.
