“Although riding sessions are not the primary focus of Crossroads Ranch, we do know there are a number of children and adults who would love to learn to ride horses but have nowhere to go. A couple of the ranch horses have been past lesson horses and are happy to continue helping new riders!
Our riding sessions are designed to develop the basic riding skills of grooming, saddling, sitting and posting trot, steering and basic patterns.
In addition to improving your balance, horseback riding can help to lift your mood, will drastically reduce your anxiety and stress, will help you to burn calories, will build your muscles, energize you, and will help with your overall physical health. Beyond the physical benefits, being with horses will build your confidence, reasoning, memory, and analytical skills in a fun way while you enjoy an opportunity to be outside.
Riding sessions are sold in packages. Each session lasts 60 minutes and includes grooming, saddling and minimum of 30 minutes of riding. Recommended frequency of sessions is once a week, although 2 sessions per week can be accommodated upon request.
