Hidden Creek Equestrian Center offers lessons for beginners through advanced riders of all ages.  We offer instruction in both dressage and combined training on our reliable lesson horses or your own horse.  For those students interested in showing, we hold ESDCTA and NPASS registered shows at our farm every summer.  We also trailer students to dressage and combined training shows and horse trials.  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 ($40.00/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 are 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.

PLEASE NOTE:
* You should plan to show up at the barn 15-20 minutes before your lesson to groom and tack up the horse you'll be riding. While we have working students to help new and young students handle the horses, they will not be permitted to get the horse ready if the student is not present. Failure to show up at least 15 minutes before your lesson time may result in a shortened lesson
* Except in the case of emergencies or sudden illnesses, 24 hour notice is requested when cancelling a lesson. Riders who fail to notify their instructor that they will not make a lesson will be charged for the missed lesson.
* Special opportunities exist for our students such as Quadrille Team lessons and show opportunities. To take part in these activities, students must be taking a minimum of one half hour lesson a week, in addition to meeting riding requirments.

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. Leasing options are only available to long-time students.
