'Safety Emphasis' Riding Lessons: 1 Hour Private Lesson $50 with your horse or hers. If you would like to ride the trails but have not had any formal training on how to actually ride a horse, Jeanie will personally give you the instructions so that you can ride safely. Jeanie has been riding on foxhunts since 1965 and trained Girl Scouts in summer progams at her riding instruction stable in Winnabow, NC during the mid 1970's. Now retired from corporate work, she has the time to offer riding instruction again. She always emphasizes the importance of safety and correct signaling to horse to help avoid problems. Depending on the willing response of the student, most students can ride on the trails after just one lesson.

Limited Help needed: If you would like to ride a horse, but are concerned about the investment, we have a work/study program available. In exchange for stable work, assistant can receive riding lessons. Call Jeanie for details: 803-432-1386.
