We are pleased to offer a full curriculum of equestrian education for young people of all ages and levels of experience. 

Ways to Get Started:

Pony Pals Pre-K - for our youngest riders! Half hour one-on-one sessions for the shorter attention span. https://www.guildara.com/programs/eyUPxV

Achievement certificates are awarded for many levels of learning within the following youth sessions. Youth sessions are taught in small groups of no more than four riders at a time. We do our best to carefully match riders and horses and keep similar levels of riders in one group for optimal learning. Please see each link for pre-requisite requirements.

Beginner Youth - ages 6 and up. https://www.guildara.com/programs/VnUGYa

Intermediate Youth - up to 17 years old. https://www.guildara.com/programs/rOUzo5

Ways to Grow:

Teens who have completed their Horsemanship Level 2A Achievement Certificates or fulfill the pre-requisites in each course description are welcome to enroll in the following sessions. 

Intermediate Teen and Adult - one-off sessions designed to progress students' general horsemanship skills in small groups of no more than four riders in each session. English and Western combined.  https://www.guildara.com/programs/A2UOeo

Ranch Horse Boot Camp - offer a chance for students to explore working western disciplines including ranch riding, reining, ranch trail, and more. Small groups of up to four riders. https://www.guildara.com/programs/naU2NN

We work on figures, bend and balance, and learn how to rider proper dressage tests. Small groups of no more than four riders, English and Western combined.  https://www.guildara.com/programs/jvU1eb
