LeCheval Stable provides an opportunity for individuals to explore the equestrian experience. Beginning riders ages 5 to adult learn basic standards necessary for safe riding. Lessons are geared to the strengths and needs of the rider after an initial evaluation. Horsemanship, skill progression and equitation are taught using the guidelines of the Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) and Maryland 4H Horsemanship Program. Beginning and intermediate riders work towards independence to build equestrian knowledge to support the ongoing process of skill progression.
Therapeutic riding instruction is available and provided by a certified North American Riding for Handicapped Association (NARHA) instructor. Riders learn to use natural aids such as voice, seat, hands and legs to control and communicate with their horse.
