At Riding To Impress,
we are firm believers in the idea that time spent riding 
is time spent improving yourself and your horse.
Challenge yourself!

        
Miss Angel, our very first horse! Retired & living out her years with us
 
 
Each student is an individual, and at Riding To Impress,
they are treated as such. Just because a teaching technique works for most,
doesn't mean it will work for all- we strive toward understanding,
and students (and parents!) are welcome to ask as many
questions as they like. If something doesn't make sense, students
are encouraged to speak up, and the professionals of the barn
are always willing to answer a question or lend a hand.
 
 

  

Riding To Impress was started to give riders quality instruction
at a lower cost, so that everyone can afford to enjoy horseback riding!

NOTES:

THE ULTIMATE HORSEMAN PROGRAM- TBA
THE ULTIMATE HORSEMAN PROGRAM:

Becoming a true Equestrian is more than just learning how to ride a horse!
This program consists of one hour-long unmounted lesson, held each weekend, on either Saturday or Sunday. This program was created to give students a hands-on learning environment where they can learn with other lesson students. 

Homework will be assigned after every session, with prizes at the end of each session for exemplary work. Each session will have a different focus topic, with each session building on what was learned in the last.
