Riding Lessons

Interested in taking riding lessons?

Want your horse trained to be show ring ready?

Are you interested in showing at horse shows this year? Are you interested in showing and travelling with other equestrians who share the same goals and level of interest in our sport? Rushmount is looking for committed equine athletes interested in showing either at Grassroots, Trillium, and A-Circuit Horse Shows.  Ask about our Show Team and the seasoned horses available for you to ride and compete with. You can also part-board or lease horses. We hope to see or hear from anyone interested in becoming a show team member and competing in the upcoming show season with us.

60 minute private lessons include tack and untack time. This is especially helpful for new riders learning the ropes or riders that are new to the barn. Riders participating in 30 minute private lessons will be expected to be tacked and warmed up prior to the beginning of the lesson.

Semi private lessons are limited to two riders total, whereas group lessons can range from 3-6 riders.

Lessons can be purchased on either an individual basis or as a discounted block of 4 to be used within the month of purchase.

For those looking to bring their horse or pony to Rushmount training we offer both basic training, which includes 3-4 rides each week, as well as break training.

Beginner riders. Adults that have always wanted to but never tried? Had kids ran out of time, now it’s your turn again? Ladies and Gents come ride with us and have loads of fun.

Calling all adult beginners and those looking for an equine connection

Do you want to experience the rewarding experience of caring for horses.

We can offer an equine experience that you will find fulfilling and calming. Studies prove interactions with horses can promote emotional, psychological, and physical well-being. We can offer programs for participants to engage in grooming, riding, and caring for horses, which fosters trust, communication, and emotional growth. This approach is beneficial for individuals as it encourages connection, mindfulness, and personal insight in a supportive environment.

Testimonials

I started taking lessons with Heidi when I joined the Lakehead University Equestrian team. I was immediately impressed with the quality of coaching I received from her and as a generally nervous rider I found her to be incredibly encouraging and confidence boosting.

I have tried other coaches in the area and found that Heidi and I meshed the best, which is why I spent almost 10 years there!
