How It Works

Lessons, pricing, and getting started

River Road keeps things simple: pick the lesson that fits, and start with an introduction lesson so Hannah can get to know the rider.

Getting started

  1. 1

    Request your introduction lesson

    Fill out a short form telling us about the rider — age, experience, and preferred times.

  2. 2

    Talk with Hannah

    Hannah reaches out to learn about the rider's goals and answer any questions before the first lesson.

  3. 3

    Start riding

    Once your introduction lesson is scheduled and confirmed, you are on your way.

Lesson types & pricing

Introduction Lesson

Every new rider starts here. A first lesson for Hannah to meet the rider and assess skill level and goals.

1-Hour Private Lesson

Standard one-on-one English riding instruction for returning riders of every level.

30-Minute Private Lesson

A shorter private ride, available to young riders under six and to Team Membership members.

Saturday Horsemanship Class

A two-hour Saturday group class covering horse care, handling, and knowledge on the ground.

Team Membership

Team Membership

A monthly membership for committed riders.

/ month

  • Members can book additional lessons anytime through the student portal.

Hannah assigns riders to the Team Membership once they are established students — it is not self-serve. Ask her if it is a good fit for your rider.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need any riding experience to start?
No. River Road welcomes complete beginners alongside intermediate and advanced riders. Every lesson is paced to the individual rider.
How old does a rider need to be?
We teach both children and adults. Younger riders often begin with shorter 30-minute lessons; tell us the rider's age on the booking form and Hannah will recommend the right fit.
What's the difference between a 30-minute and a 1-hour lesson?
Most riders book 1-hour private lessons. 30-minute lessons are reserved for riders under six years old and for members of the Team Membership program.
What should I wear?
Long pants and a sturdy closed-toe shoe with a small heel are essential. See the What to Wear page for full details.
What is your cancellation policy?
Cancellation policy details will be confirmed soon. Please contact us with any questions.
