New Mexico Center for Therapeutic Riding

Riding Sessions

We offer one hour individual riding lessons, as well as group lessons. The riding lessons are held in a consecutive eight week session. Riders will attend a lesson on the same day and same time for the entire session. Lessons consist of learning horse knowledge, horsemanship skills, and riding skills. Our students tack and un-tack the horse, learn to mount and dismount the horse, and are taught English or western riding styles.
