"My daughter started lessons here after riding for several years at various places. At Sundance, she has found a great gymkhana team of which she feels a very important part, an incredible riding coach (Sara) who cares about her abilities, her potential and her character AND probably most important for her...a great group of friends. This environment has proved to be an incredible training ground for my daughter as a horse-girl and as a person."Kraig Kidd Dragula
"Sara and her team are amazing! They treat everyone and their horses with exceptional care! They do it all...from boarding your horse to training your child how to ride properly!"Staci Schreiner

Tiny Tot Lessons
Tiny Tot horseback riding lessons are designed for children under five years old and are 30 minutes long instead of a full hour. Tiny Tot riders learn proper safety techniques while around horses, learn to help groom a horse, learn how to correctly put on tack and ride for about 15 minutes. Tiny Tot lessons are a great way to introduce your child to riding without staying a full hour.
Rates: $135 for a package of four tiny-tot private lessons.
Lesson & Package Policy
Any package purchased must be pre-paid.
Any lessons not used in a package are non-refundable.
Family members/siblings may share a package.
Cancellation Policy
24-hour's notice is required when cancelling a lesson or you be will charged the full price of the lesson. We do understand that sometimes children and adults get sick and it's frustrating when that coincides with a lesson. However, if we don't receive at least 24 hours' notice, we cannot put another student in the cancellation spot, therefore, still charge for the lesson.
More than two consecutive cancellations will result in you losing your spot in your lesson spot.
If a rider cancels more than three times within a two-month period, the rider will be removed from the lesson program and the spot will be given to the next rider on the waitlist.
