Lessons

Hillside Stable offers lessons in jumping, dressage,  western and basic flatwork.  We are currently have some availability for students for weekly lessons and/or part leases. Our current horses available are 14.2-15.2 hands and best suited to riders under 165 lbs for jumping, dressage or western lessons. Shift workers welcome.

Lessons are taught by Karen Nelson, who has experience competing in dressage, hunters, jumpers, and open show classes. Karen has been teaching since 1991, and so has decades of experience coaching riders of various levels and ambitions.

Our program teaches women the fundamentals of dressage, jumping and western riding. Our lessons focus on understanding why as well as how, in a fun, safe and encouraging environment. Our lessons are taught with 1 – 3  riders per group, and are taught during the day or on weekday evenings. Our clients range from 16 to 60’s!
