About our Lesson Program: 2013 (subject to change)
Our motto is Safety, first, last and always! Adults and children of all ages and experience levels (beginner through advanced) are welcome. Riders, parents and/or guardians must sign waivor form. All diciplines (english and western) are offered. We provide experienced horses and tack for you (helmets & boots).
Michele and Randy Clark are the only instructors-trainers, with decades of horsemanship experience to share. We are non-competitive, helping the student to their fullest potential. While consistancy is the key to horsemanship, you are not required to sign-up for a set amount of lessons on a specific day or time. We schedule to fit your needs. Your first assesment lesson is private, one rider and instructor. Lessons are generally 1 hour and cost $35. When appropriate, group lessons are available.
The barn
Big barn: 9 stalls. Smaller barn: 5 stalls and tack cabinets. All stalls are 10 x 12 and completely matted. Middle : feed room. We believe in customizing feed programs to fit the horses needs. We are very pleased with the results of Nutrena feeds, and will adjust feed brands to the owners request. Quality Hay and clean water are always provided. We take pride in keeping it neat and tidy!
The indoor arena
50 x 80, completely open so you can horse around inside on bad weather days. Also utilized in the really bad weather for small group turnout. We have toys to play with! Jumps, barrels, poles, balls, tarps, noodles and other stuff available to keep you busy.
Tack cabinet and stall front
Your tack is safe in this spacious place. Big enough for two saddle racks plus grooming supplies, boots and more. Horses can enjoy the freedom of top open doors, but we can enclose the horse if needed.
Are you taking our picture? Wait, I need to fix my hair!
As you can see, the entire herd goes out together. We feel horse are like people: hanging out, eating, and playing together equals happiness! Since this herd is out daily and fed well, they all get along fine. Of course, if there is an agreeable medical condition, we adjust as necessary. We have one large pasture, approximately 3 acres. Another pasture, approximately 1acre that can be separated into two sections or opened together, with a dry paddock in the middle. This section is utilized for getting out in muddy and snowy conditions and not sinking to their knees / hocks. There is room behind and besides the barn also utilized for turn out. So, we can rotate pastures. Keep in mind we turn out daily, working with the Ohio weather, we have grass, but it's not always beautiful. That's why we feed quality hay and grain daily.
Leases: Love making snow and mud angels! We have great horses available for lease. Interested parties must prove safe skills and a good horse-rider fit while participating in lessons before we move forward with leasing. We offer full and partial leases, from $100 to $300 per month. We custom design a lease that is right for all involved. Our focus is to keep the horse and rider safe and happy, stressing "out with the herd time" and not over-working any animal.
Baby Corona followed me everywhere! He came to us just three days old and with no mom. Lots of buckets of milk, time and loving care later, he's healthy and very happy. We have decades of experience with moms and babies, gelding and mares of all ages.
We Rough Riders are ready to enjoy a "safe trail lesson". Kids of all ages, sizes and shapes, and experience levels are welcome to enjoy individualized and group "safe, whole horsemanship" lessons.
We enjoy the beautiful trails with all the seasons
