Training Program

Lesson Program

Saddle Lake is dedicated to proving the best possible care for our horses, teaching our students the fundamentals of riding, whether beginner or advance, and providing a fun and safe environment in which to learn.  We want to help our students develop a strong sense of self-esteem and confidence, with horse and in their everyday lives.  Our instructors strive to be outstanding role models. Lessons are 45 minutes long and offered year round.  Our weekly lesson schedule offers much opportunity allowing our customers to pick time slots that work around their busy lives. 

Beginner through Intermediate lessons are available and taught by assistant trainers with lesson plans and horse selection overseen by Missy Jo.

Advanced Hunter/Equitation Lessons offered.  Group lessons at this level are grouped by jump heights first and age of rider second.  We offer a group of nice accomplished show horses for this level to the greener horse depending on the skill of the rider.  Of course riders are welcome to use their own mounts for lessons.  Lessons taught by Missy Jo and covered by Sr Assistant trainer when instructor is out of town showing.

Out of town/state/county customers are welcome to travel in for multiple days of training at a time.  Several lessons a day can be scheduled to accommodate each rider’s schedule. Hotels near the Kentucky location are available 7.5 miles away in Wilder or Newport Kentucky and one trailer hook up is available. If flying, CVG is within 25 minutes drive from the Kentucky farm.
