Pine Haven Stables & Riding Academy-Lessons and Academy Program
“No hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle.”~Winston Churchill

Our academy program is an affordable way to introduce our lesson
riders to the show ring.  In additional to our national shows,  we
have a series of local shows both here at Pine Haven and also at
other locations within about 1 hours drive. Our riders may show
either their own or our lesson horses and get show ring experience
in relaxed atmosphere. This is not required of our lesson students
but a wonderful way to show off new skills and build confidence.


Private Lessons are available any day except Monday

4 lesson package for $125
