Riding Lessons

Fox Heath offers a year-round riding lesson program for beginners through advanced students. Riding facilities include an indoor arena, a lighted sand jumping ring, two additional all-weather rings, hunt courses, and trails.  The lesson program is designed to produce a rider that is confident in the show ring and in the hunt field.  Students range in age from three to seniors.  The Fox Heath community also has a healthy balance of male and female riders.

We offer a well rounded program that you won't find anywhere else.  Our multiple disciplines of riding allow the rider (and horse) to improve and be comfortable with all aspects of equestrian sports. Cross discipline training creates a more "balanced" rider that improves their abilities in all disciplines.  Most notably, we like to get our riders out of the ring, and encourage them to enjoy the beauty of the countryside.

Fox Heath welcomes all individuals with a desire to learn and enjoy these magnificent animals.  Students ages range from three years to "Seniors" with both men and women at all age and skill levels.

The quality of instruction is excellent.  The teaching staff is made of experienced instructors, each having their own area of expertise.  For example, riders who prefer to go at a slower, more deliberate pace will have a different instructor and lesson plan than an advanced student who is focused on competing at a particular high-level show.  Fox Heath instructors include an experienced show judge who is available to work with riders to improve their scoring in competition. 

Lesson size/cost

Lesson students are placed, according to their level of experience, in groups of three to six riders. Entry-level students advance more quickly with private lessons before joining a group. The riding time and cost per lesson depends on the number of students participating:
Group (3 or more students) - one hour - $40
Semi-private (2 students) - forty five minutes - $45
Private (1 student) - thirty minutes - $50

Additional Information

Students are encouraged to arrive well in advance of their lesson to help groom and tack-up their horse. Time should also be allowed to put the horse away after the lesson.

Lessons are scheduled on Monday and Saturday mornings through afternoon and then weekday evenings after school. Additional times may also be arranged.

We offer trail riding as part of the standard lesson program when weather permits.  We do not rent horses to people who do not ride at Fox Heath for the purpose of trail riding or riding at the farm.
