A superb introduction to horses & Riding!

Mahogany Bay Farm's Intro to Horses & Riding Class is a drop-off class for kids ages 5-13 and one  class per month will be for all ages! This twice a month class is designed for first time and beginner walk/trot riders! It is based after our extremely popular summer pony camps and will ignite your child's interest (or yours) in horses!

Participants will learn safety around horses through leading, grooming and tacking up our well-schooled horses and ponies. Basic fundamentals of riding will be taught through various mounted exercises, games and obstacle courses. A horse-related arts & craft or horsemanship lesson will complete this educational and enriching class. Please note if the weather is not favorable to ride in, groundwork and horse agility lessons will be taught in the barn instead.

What to Wear: Jeans, leggings or riding jodhpurs and a boot with a heel. Please bring a water bottle and dress for the Maine weather. We will provide certified riding helmets.

Registration is required as space is limited. This class is held twice a month on Saturdays from 2-4 pm. Typically, the 1st Sat of the month is for all ages and the 3rd Sat of the month is for kids ages 5-13. Please check the Mahogany Bay Farm Facebook page for Intro to Horses & Riding Class dates and contact Erin to sign up. Cost: $50

Mahogany Bay Farm's After School Riding Academy runs from September to June with a Fall, Winter, and Spring Session. It is a drop-off class designed for K-8th grade children who love horses and want the comprehensive experience of learning to ride and care for them in the barn!

These young horse enthusiasts divide their time between riding lessons in the ring and horsemanship lessons in the barn. Mahogany Bay Farm believes that kids learn by doing so we give "hands-on" experience with the horses. After school riders learn to groom and tack-up our well-schooled horses and ponies, along with the basics of horse care and proper horse safety. Riding lessons are focused on rider position and control of the horse through various exercises to allow riders to hone these skills.

If the weather is not favorable to ride in, groundwork and horse agility lessons will be taught in the barn instead. Either way, your child will leave the barn smiling from ear to ear with new horse adventures to share with you!

What to Wear: Jeans, leggings or riding jodhpurs and a boot with a heel. Please have your child bring a water bottle and dress for the Maine weather. We will provide certified riding helmets.

Registration is required as space is limited. Please check the Mahogany Bay Farm Facebook page for our After School Riding Academy dates and contact Erin to sign up. Cost: $299 per session which is due on or before the first class.
