Columbia Horse Center offers riding lessons for children and adults, ages 5 to 105. Our instructors have all been through our own In-House Instructor School, as well as have training from various other prestigious equestrian facilities. Lessons are separated by age and ability. Riders are placed into beginner, Intermediate, and advanced classes based on their age and goals.  | Pony Pal Lessons
Ages 5 to 7 years old. The lessons are more game oriented with lots of laughter while still teaching basic horsemanship skills. Parents are included in the lessons as they assist their child by leading the horse/pony to insure maximum safety until such time as the child is ready to manage the horse/pony by themselves. Our goal is to keep it safe, and fun while still educating the children about horseback riding. | | Children Group Lessons
Group lessons are split by level of rider and range in age from 8 to 16. Rides are taught in a positive, creative and motivating enviroment that challenges them to achieve their goals all while having a great experience and maintaining a safe ride. | 
|  | Adult Lessons
Adults are taught in a more relaxed enviroment with a sense of humor while focusing more emphasis on the mechanics. We understand that most adults are riding as a form of exercise and recreation and haven't been in a saddle in a long time, if at all. It's time to be a kid at heart. | | Homeschool Lessons
Columbia Horse Center offers 8-week riding sessions for children that are taught at home. This is scheduled during the weekdays while school is in session. Riders of all levels and ages 5-18 are eligible to sign up. For more information: Click Here |  |
Make-Up Policy: Columbia Horse Center has a very liberal make-up policy. Riders missing a class have the entire 13 weeks to make up their lesson. Please, inform the office of any absences.

Columbia Horse Center prides itself on the diversity of our lesson program.
