If you’re the rider that has goals of winning ribbons and attending horse shows, the just want to have fun and be safe rider, or the rider somewhere in between, we have a structured lesson programs just for you.

JDV focus its lesson curriculum on all aspects of horsemanship. When you begin lessons at JDV you will learn horse handling, grooming, appropriate warm-up and cool downs, balance, safety, equitation, dressage, hunter/jumper, horsemanship. Once a student has learned to tack and untack their horse, they will be expected to have their horse ready at the beginning of their lesson. The time it takes one to learn this depends on age & ability.Once students have learned to do so, their lesson time will primarily consist of riding.

JDV offers discounted lesson packages to students that schedule a regular lesson times and prepay for lessons at the beginning of the month. JDV offers both private and group lessons and lessons are generally one hour. Currently lessons are scheduled for Wednesday - Friday Afternoons, Saturday Mornings, and Sunday Evenings.  If these days don’t work well for you please check back or call to see if things have changed. During special seasons, JDV Farm may offer summer and Christmas Camps, weekend clinics, or schooling shows. Please check back to the website for announcements when events like that are scheduled.
