Lesson Services

Lessons are available for various ages and experience levels on a horse provided by Rock-N-Oaks. Most lessons are 1 hour.

A horse (health requirements met) may also be trailered in for lesson use.

Susan Pooley, Pooley Quarter Horses, provides instruction that includes ground handling, grooming, tacking, riding, and post-ride care. To ensure students receive the most benefit from their lessons, we encourage parents to wait until their children are 7-8 years old before introducing them to horseback riding. It is tiring for small arms to hold reins properly for a long period and it is difficult for horses to feel kicks from legs that do not reach below the saddle pad.

Susan Pooley also offers training for horses of all ages in various disciplines. Her fees include professional training and board.
