Harlequin Stables

Our instructors at Harlequin teach a basic balanced seat and proper equitation to our riders just starting out. As riders' abilities progress they will learn the skills of basic dressage and jumping. Each instructor has their own style of teaching and riding to accommodate different riders into our program. Riders must be at least six years old to begin riding with us.

Lessons are taught 6 days per week, Tuesday through Sunday. We offer private or semi-private lessons to give extra attention to riders and to allow for a less crowded ring. Lessons are offered throughout the year, as we have an indoor ring for inclement weather.

We will be accepting new students to our lesson program. If you would like to be added to our waitlist for when lesson times become available, please fill out the form below. If you have any questions, please feel free to reach out to us via our Contact Us page!

Once the student has reached the skill level required for group lessons, they may switch to 30 minute lessons if they so choose.)

Cancellation Policy

(Updated May 2021)

Please bring a form of payment, either cash or check, to your first lesson. After your initial evaluation lesson, if you decide to continue in our lesson program, lessons for each month must be paid for at the beginning of each month. All lesson payments are non-refundable. If you need to cancel, please give us at least 24 hours notice and we can schedule a make-up lesson if there is availability. Make up lessons are not carried past 14 days and are not guaranteed. If you do not show up for your lesson or notify us of your absence, that lesson will not be rescheduled. Missing 2 or more lessons in a row in 1 month puts your lesson spot at risk. Any payments received after the 8th of each month will incur a late fee of $20.

If you arrive late for your lesson, your lesson will be shortened so that it can remain within your scheduled time slot. If you are taking a lesson that includes grooming and tacking as a part of the lesson, please show up at your scheduled time. If you are responsible for grooming and tacking on your own, please give yourself at least 30 minutes prior to your lesson for this so you can be mounting at your scheduled time. Parents, when dropping off your young riders, please be sure that their instructor is at the barn before you leave. If no one is at the barn, we ask that you stay until there is an instructor or staff present.
