Tracey Whelan
Head of the Lesson Program
I have a passion for teaching, and strive to help you achieve your goals. I use supportive and positive instruction to instilling confidence, which I believe to be crucial to a riders success. There is nothing better than helping a student work hard to achieve their goals.
Please email or call me (310) 403-6510 to schedule a lesson or tour of the facility.
Whether you are new to the sport or want to get your riding legs back, we have a program to fit your needs.
As one of the very first USHJA Recognized Riding Academies in Oregon City, we offer lessons in hunters, jumpers and equitation. Our mission is to provide a positive and supportive atmosphere, with a strong emphasis on safety and horsemanship. Our students learn all aspects of horse care from grooming to groundwork, while receiving a strong foundation in correct riding position and technique.
We offer both group and private lessons, each lesson is tailored to the riders individual needs and goals. We often have full or partial leases available which allows you to experience the responsibility of ownership with a lower initial cost. Lessons are taught by qualified instructors who demonstrate the value of continued development and growth of the equestrian sport.
