Riding Lessons & Horsemanship Growth

At MM Horsemanship Academy, we believe in providing a comprehensive learning experience that goes beyond riding skills. Our program is designed to foster growth through a combination of structured lessons, clinics, progress tracking, and personalized goal-setting.

Personalized Riding Lessons

Each lesson is customized to meet the individual needs of the rider, ensuring targeted skill development. Our goal is to help students grow not only as riders but as confident, empathetic individuals with a strong work ethic.

Monthly Horsemanship Clinics

Once a month, students attend a 2-hour Horsemanship Clinic where they gain hands-on experience in horse care, riding preparation, and practical horsemanship skills. This clinic helps students build independence and proficiency, preparing them for greater responsibilities.

Here's some stuff

Quarterly Goal-Setting Sessions

Every three months, we conduct goal-setting sessions with each student (and their parents, if applicable). Together, we assess their progress, set new objectives, and provide personalized feedback to ensure continuous improvement.

Curriculum & Progress Tracking

Our leveled curriculum is managed via the Trello app, offering a transparent and engaging way to track progress. Each student has a personalized learning card with photos and videos documenting their journey. Students advance at their own pace, building a strong foundation before moving to the next level.

Celebrating Achievements

At MM Horsemanship Academy, we love celebrating our students' milestones. When riders advance through curriculum levels, we host award ceremonies to recognize their dedication and hard work.
