Lazy J Ranch starts new clients and beginners first in our: Introduction to Horsemanship Program. This program is for kids and adults just starting out and will take place in a private session.
Once our beginners learn the skill set required to advance, we graduate them to their choice of a semi private or private lesson. As our students gain more experience and skill we introduce them to one-day activities such as trail rides, onsite fun shows and activities as well as off-premises one-day local horse shows using Lazy J Ranch-owned horses. Customers are encouraged to take lessons from all of the instructors of the Lazy J Ranch Team to learn the unique attributes, techniques and riding disciplines of each instructor.
