The Rookie Rider program was developed by nationally certified coaches to offer kids (aged 6 to 12) a safe introduction to horses – with an emphasis on fun! With these fundamental skills for horseback riding in any discipline, the children will finish with a strong foundation to continue in the learn-to-ride program.

At the end of the program, you’ll receive a progress report detailing their growth and a certificate of completion. Rookie Rider has been developed by nationally certified coaches and will be run by NCCP and Equine Canada certified coaches at Ironstone farms.

Program includes:

  • Group warm-up games
  • Basic gymnastics on mats
  • Horsemanship skills such as grooming, tacking up, and horse awareness for safety
  • Riding and vaulting skills on a barrel “horse”
  • Riding a horse or pony on a longe line

With these fundamental skills for horseback riding in any discipline, the children will finish with a strong foundation to continue in the learn-to-ride program.
