Students typically arrive after 2pm on a
Monday afternoon. Tuesday, Wednesday and Fridays are full work
days, with horses being trained as well as lessons. Thursdays
are usually half days, with lessons being taught only in the
morning. Students are encouraged to visit the many local
historic sights such as the National Civil War Museum,
Gettysburg, and the State Capital in Harrisburg, PA on Thursday
afternoons. Students have the option of departing either Friday
after work or Saturday morning before 11am.
A
basic daily schedule for Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Fridays are
as follows: Work starts around 8 am with horses in training.
There are usually about 8-10 horses in training, from three year
olds just being started, to Grand Prix. Students are encouraged
to take notes as each horse’s case history and training
objectives will be discussed, and the students may observe and
evaluate the week’s progress with each horse. Responsible
questions and discussions are important to us and are highly
encouraged. Riding lessons begin in the afternoon after a break
for lunch, and include both the short course lessons and well as
any day students that may be riding either one of our school
horses, or shipping in their own. Short course students are
welcome to audit any and all lessons. |
