As my program has grown these last few years, I have decided to steer it towards competition-based training.
We are designed to help riders reach their goals in the show ring! We work hard to build strong foundations, so when riders are ready to show, they go down centerline with confidence. Our riders’ ages range from young riders through retired-aged adults, but they ALL have one thing in common: to compete and continue advancing through the levels in whichever discipline they ride! Our facility also hosts clinics, horse shows, and is available to send your horse for training with Jes.
Lesson Rules and Courtesies:
Helmets and signed liability forms are required for riders of all ages at Livin A Dream Farm.
Make sure you have received confirmation for your allotted lesson time(s) via the team’s weekly scheduling email. If you do not see your name or a time by your name please contact Jes immediately.
If you arrive more than 15 minutes late for your lesson, you run the risk of losing that lesson and being asked to reschedule
If you are unable to attend a lesson, please let Jes know ATLEAST one hour before your scheduled lesson time to avoid being charged for that lesson
Any no call, no shows will result in required payment for your missed lesson.
Individual Private Lessons:
$75 -For any riders looking to take lessons intermittently or for riders working on a budget, we offer individually priced lessons at $75 per lesson. This low commitment / “pay as you go” option is best for a rider who is looking for a tune up once and a while, or for the rider who needs fresh eyes to suggest exercises for improving their mechanics or their horse’s mechanics.
Lesson Packs:
* Packs expire three months from the date of your 1st lesson of the pack *
$250/$500 - Lesson packs are offered five lessons for $250 or ten lessons (+1 free - only applicable to this pack option - 11 total) for $500. This option is best for riders who want consistency with a trainer, or for riders with multiple horses looking to customize their training schedule. The pack lessons are good for haul in lessons with your own horse(s) or training rides at our facility for your horse(s). Jes will travel for lessons/training to a barn with approval from the owner at no extra travel fee so long as she has A MINIMUM of TWO lessons/training rides at said facility. If she travels for only one lesson/training ride, there will be an additional travel fee added to the lesson price. Maximum travel radius is within a 30-minute drive of Livin A Dream Farm.
Open Rides:
This is ONLY offered to riders in our program who are looking to get more saddle time at a more affordable cost on one of our schooling ponies - the price for “open rides” is $25 per ride. Independence, time in the saddle, and self-sufficiency are what creates a stronger, more well-rounded rider! Each open ride must be supervised by an adult unless the rider is over 16 years of age. The independence of an open ride allows the rider to gain confidence and practice the skills/tools that they learn during their lessons. Note: riders will be briefed in advance on what is or is not allowed during their open ride.
Customizable Training at Livin A Dream Farm:
Please reach out to receive a custom quote for additional lesson options, lease options, training ride options, or in-house training/board options. We are fortunate to have a full barn of young horses, schooling horses and competition horses; however, we DO have the additional space for bringing horses in on short term training as well! A reminder, we are NOT a boarding facility.
Coaching/Clinic Fees:
When attending a horse show if you would like coaching or training, I offer day shows at $90 per person, or weekend shows at $150 per person. Travel fees vary and are determined by mileage and how many team riders are competing. To host me as a clinician, day clinics are $90 per person, and weekend clinics are $150 per person. Travel fees vary and are determined by mileage, days, and number of riders participating in the clinic.
