Horsemanship is a part of every lesson. Proper care, handling, understanding, and safety are taught in this program from the very beginning. Three Oaks Farm believes riders must be truly knowledgeable about their animals in order to become equestrians. Our horses and students are treated as individuals, each with their own personality and needs.
Students will be evaluated during their first lesson. Factors such as past experience, physical ability and willingness, all play a part. No one will be asked to perform that which they are uncomfortable with. Group lessons at Three Oaks are purposely kept small to ensure each student gets the attention they need.

How can horseback riding enrich my child?
Horseback riding is a sport that teaches patience, respect, empathy, and responsibility. This is a physical outdoor activity where any child from the one participating in track to the one in book club can enjoy and succeed. Horses are non-judgmental and children feel less pressure to look, speak, or act certain ways when they are with them.
Patience is required to learn how to communicate with an animal who will be your partner for the lesson. This animal doesn’t speak our language and prefers to move at it’s own pace.
Respect is learned from the fact that these are large creatures that cannot be forced to comply.
Respect is also enforced at our facility where you must clean up after your self during lessons.
Empathy is learned during every lesson where your actions are judged according to how your horse reacts.
Responsibility is learned in that while you are here for your lesson, you are in charge of the care and comfort of the horse assigned to you.
Dressing for your lesson
Two pieces of equipment are required for participation in the lesson program. One is an ASTM/SEI approved riding helmet. A bicycle helmet is designed for bike accidents. A riding helmet is designed for riding accidents. The second piece of equipment you will need is a pair of sturdy shoes with a heel. Optimally these are riding boots, but certain other shoes make suitable substitutions. Information will be provided on how and where these items can be purchased.
Close fitting, tucked in shirts with riding pants, breeches, jodhpurs, or jeans that will not ride up are necessary clothing.
Riding and handling horses is a rugged recreational sports activity. No horse is a completely safe animal. If a horse is frightened or provoked it may revert from its training and act according to its natural behavior. Such behavior may include but is not limited to:
- Stopping short
- Bucking
- Changing speed or direction abruptly at will
- Shifting its weight from side to side
- Rearing
- Biting or kicking
