Primary School & College Programs

 Our INVESTIGATE program offers a 1 hour tour of our facility! This program can also be adapted to any age level group if a community organization or family group wants to see life from a horse’s perspective!

• $50 per group (group size 12 or less) or $5/student for additional students (24 Maximum). 

• Must be able to walk on different terrain and follow directions. Includes petting/brushing a pony, but no riding.

Grades 3-6: With our EXPLORE program, we offer the above tour with the addition of instruction on the psychology of the horse, as well as safety around horses! Also included is further instruction on riding basics, riding equipment, care of the horse, cleaning a stall, as well as grooming and tacking. This experience includes a short time in the saddle with a side walker or on a lead-line, depending on the age of the student! This is a 1.5 hour to 3 hour time commitment for groups of 8-24 students.

...

Grades 7-12: We offer the same EXPLORE experience as above at the same price, but there is a weight limit of 180 pounds for riders which may affect the number in your group who can participate in the riding portion of the experience. Unfortunately, there is no discount for this scenario.

• $40/student. Larger groups may be eligible for a small discount, though the maximum at any one time  is 24 students.

• This program includes saddle time. See more information at the bottom of the page regarding clothing requirements

​

*We can also include a sketching opportunity for students grades 3-12 to have a physically distanced quiet time in the country!*

For years we have been working with Grove City and Westminster College students in our College Program offered here at LNS. We work directly with both administrations and student government to bring the equestrian world to their school programs. Both Westminster and Grove City have an Equestrian Club or team, and our program brings those clubs to our Equestrian Center for safe and instructive lessons! If your college has an equestrian club, or you would be interested in bring a new club to your school, we can make it happen! If you are a college student and are just looking for individual lessons, our program is right for you too! Contact us for more information, and we will get you and your school in the saddle!     

• All programs require a $50 deposit ($100 deposit for all group events with a riding component) to hold your date. Programs with a riding component also require a guaranteed number of riders 2 weeks prior to your event with an additional deposit of 50% of the balance due. Final payment is due on the day of your event, unless other arrangements are made before your event occurs. All payments by check, at this time. Your initial deposit is non-refundable, but it is transferrable.

​

• For those wanting more instructional time in the saddle, we offer horseback riding lessons year-round. Students are aged 6 years old and up. Visit our LESSONS page for more information, and contact us if interested! We are open Monday through Saturday and closed Sunday.

​

• We can provide you with some ideas for additional activities to help prepare your students before they come as well as other outside venues near us for picnicking, tack/gear shopping, etc. Let us know what you are looking for and we can help!

Clothing Requirements

​

• All riding students must wear closed toe shoes, preferably with a hard sole and defined heel of a minimum of 3/4 inch in height.

We will provide certified equestrian helmets for the riders’ use during our program, though if you have one you may bring your own!
