Lessons
come learn with us!
Lessons at Cedar Haven Ranch are designed to suit riders of all experience levels. Whether you are a beginning rider just wanting to spend time with horses, or a seasoned competitor heading for the show ring, we have highly trained horses that can accommodate all levels of riding.
We offer both private and group lessons. Lessons include ride time and ground skills including catching, leading, grooming, and tacking your own horse.
Our instructors are patient, warm, and friendly individuals with a passion for sharing their love of horses with others! We have multiple instructors experienced in a variety of disciplines such as english pleasure, dressage, eventing, show jumping, hunters, endurance, cutting, reining, and western pleasure.
If you own a horse of your own, you are welcome to trailer your horse in for your lesson time.
Lessons are conducted in both an indoor and outdoor arena depending on weather.
Our goal is to produce confident and educated riders in and out of the saddle. Your comfort and safety is our top priority. Our instructors encourage you in your lessons to build your confidence by maintaining a positive mindset while going at your own pace.

In loving memory of everyone’s favorite Unicorn, nuffy.
Holy Enuff aka “Nuffy” was a once in a lifetime horse. She was the lesson horse who we all built our confidence on here at Cedar Haven. She was the start of it all and helped build our program from the ground up. Some people say unicorns don’t exist, but those that knew her witnessed her magic. We will all miss her so much.
“a horse doesn’t care how much you know until they know how much you care.”
