Misty
Meadows offers a semestered lesson program. Maximum
number of students in a lesson group is 5 to allow more
one on one attention from our top notch coaches.
Private and semi-private lessons are also offered.
Theory lessons are part of the semester package so
students learn about the horses and their care as well
as riding.
Group Lessons
Group lessons run for 1 hour (actual riding time).
Grooming, Tacking up, and Untacking must be done before
and after the lesson time. This allows our coaches the
maximum amount of time to work with each student.
Students in each group are matched up according to their
riding ability and their goals so lessons can be planned
accordingly.
School
Horses and Ponies
MMEC has healthy, happy and safe horses and ponies for
the students to ride. Each horse/pony has been fitted
with their own saddle and bridle to ensure comfort for
both horse and rider. Each school horse is only used a
maximum of 2 or 3 hours each day to keep them fresh and
every horse has at least one day of rest. School horses
have daily turnout so they can have some recreation time
to keep them happy. Vet and ferrier work is scheduled
regularly to help maintain the school horses.
Rider Level Program
At Misty Meadows we also offer a MMEC Rider Level
Program that follows closely to the OEF Rider Level
Program. This allows students to set goals and work
towards accomplishing the various levels in the program.
Test days are usually once a semester and only students
interested in completing the levels sign-up. This is a
great way to test your equine skills.
Staff
MMEC staff are highly qualified for the jobs they are
assigned. Each member of our team has been
working/riding horses most of their life.
One of the coaches on staff is a certified Level 1 coach. Her background includes hunter/jumper experience and she more recently has competed in evening. Her dressage background helps start students with the basics of riding.
The other coach has extensive experience working with hunters and jumpers. Having worked with A circuit show barns her wealth of knowledge is second to none.
