Hidden Creek Equestrian Center offers lessons for beginners through advanced riders of all ages.  We offer instruction in both dressage and jumping on our reliable lesson horses or your own horse.  For those students interested in showing, we hold open schooling shows at our facility.  We also trailer students to dressage, combined training and eventing shows.  Our trainers have many years experience in training students and horses as wells as extensive competition experience.

Lesson Options:

We offer several different lesson formats to meet the needs of our students.  We start all beginners on and off a longe line in a half-hour private lesson ($35.00/lesson) to ensure that they have a secure foundation on which to build.  Once they are ready to progress or for students who join us with prior riding experience, we offer the following options:

• Lessons can be paid for on a weekly basis

• Discounts available on prepaid packages of 10 lessons (that's one free lesson for every 10 purchased) you may also use one package of 10 lessons for two children from the same family - call 610.681.6111 or e-mail us for more details.

 Leasing:

In order to help our more advanced students with the transition from weekly lessons to horse ownership, we attempt to make available horses for lease. Half-leases, which allow the student to ride twice a week in addition to their regular lesson, are most common; however, occasionally full-leases are available as well.

Meet Our Lesson Horses:

I Found Nemo:

                     
Nemo is 12.3 hand Appaloosa/Welsh Pony cross.  Nemo loves to jump, and can clear a 2'6" fence like it's nothing.  He has been very successful in Combined Training, and also in dressage - He was 3rd place in Starter Walk/Trot in 2006 with Nicole Troia for ESDCTA year End Awards, getting scores consistently in the 60%'s.  Nemo is safe for young kids to learn on, and has enough talent for more experienced kids to enjoy.

Rufus:

Rufus is 14.1 hand Haflinger gelding.  He is owned by Becky Kuc, but is active in our lesson program.  Rufus is very calm and easy for beginner's to lean on, and he also shines in the show ring.  Rufus has gotten scores up to 70% at Training Level, and was the winning school horse of Hidden Creek's perpetual "WK Fadl Atraction Award" (Highest scoring rider on a school horse) with Becky as his rider.  Rufus has been to a lot of shows including Lendon's Youth Dressage Festival, where he placed 6th in his and Becky's division!  Rufus is also a fantastic jumper.

Starlight:

Starlight is a 15.1 hand Quarter Horse cross mare.  She is very sweet and willing.  She is a good jumper and also a great low-level dressage horse.  Starlight has competed in the Region One Junior Team Dressage Championships, representing ESDCTA on the third place team!  She has shown first level, scoring in the 60%'s.

 Skip, Zip and Zap:

Zip is a 15 hand Quarter Horse gelding.  He loves to jump and has also proven to be a nice dressage horse.  He started showing (with Bria Eick) in 2006, and got scores up to 65% at Training Level, making him Runner-up for the WK Fadl Atraction Award (Highest Scoring Rider on a School Horse) with Bria.  He also won fifth place in Starter Walk/Trot/Canter for 2006 ESDCTA Year End Awards!  Zip is fun for advanced riders and confident beginners.

Masquerade:

 Kira is our newest school horse.  She's a 15 hand Morgan cross mare with an excellent temperament.  She's being tuned up in dressage and jumping, and has definite potential.  She is extremely sweet and very calm, but can be challenging and talented enough for more experienced riders.
