Riding/horsemanship lessons
At Dixon Stables, HORSEMANSHIP is a top priority.
Almost anyone can learn to ride, but if you lack horsemanship skills, you will inevitably come across a situation with your horse that you are not prepared for. We pride ourselves on developing a lesson plan that will meet your individual goals be it basic riding, competition or horse owner. We not only teach the fundamentals, we teach the foundation level steps that other facilities may neglect.
