The riding academy is the only equestrian program in New England which has use of four individual Olympic riding arenas for their entry level programs, of which two are heated indoor arenas for colder weather. The farm provides one of the safest and quietest environments for both children and adults to learn about the wonderful world of horses. Parents and families are welcome to watch the horseback riding lessons in two heated viewing rooms attached to the indoor arenas.
The fun, very closely supervised, hour of riding is taught in a small group class. Teaching the classes are four outstanding horseback riders from the area. Kathy Fogg, Rachel McCormick, Carissa Walberg and Libby Jacob have teamed up for another season of equestrian pursuits with exciting lessons planned for all of the students. Pre-school, youth, and adult beginner riding groups contain two to four students each. Riders are placed in beginner, advanced beginner, intermediate, and advanced groups, depending on their riding experience. Pre-school programs are for students three to six years of age.
The cost is $425 for the seven-week group youth and adult riding program. The private seven-week pre-school (3-6yrs), youth and adult session is $550. The academy of riding at Starbuck Equestrian also offers private half hour and hour lessons at $85 and $170. Lessons are available every day of the week for any riding level including weekends!
