Riding Club

A confidence-building program for kids ages 6–14 that emphasizes safe horsemanship, hands-on horse care, groundwork, and riding in a supportive ranch environment.

What Riding Club Is All About

Riding Club is designed for kids who are new to horses and for returning riders who want to keep building skills. Some days are more ride-focused, and some days lean into groundwork and horsemanship because confidence starts from the ground up.

Ages

6–14 years

A supportive environment for kids to learn and grow at their own pace.

Schedule

Sundays • 9 AM – 12 PM

Drop-off, tack up, ride time, in-class learning, clean up, and pick-up.

Group Size

Limited to 8

Small groups so every rider gets support, attention, and safe instruction.

What Kids Will Learn

Each session blends hands-on barn time with riding and in-class learning. Riders will build practical skills like:

Fetching, grooming, and tacking up
Groundwork and safe horse handling
Horseback riding fundamentals
In-class learning including horse care, anatomy, riding disciplines, and more
Confidence, responsibility, and teamwork with their horse

Our Approach

At Jäger Ranch, we focus on solid foundations — safety, education, physical well-being, and professionalism for both horse and rider. We also teach kids how to work with a horse as an individual, because horses have personalities and moods too. Learning to read them, respect them, and build trust is part of becoming a rider.

Riding Club FAQs

A few common questions we get from parents before registering.

Does my child need experience?

No experience is required. We meet riders where they’re at and help build confidence step by step.

What spring sessions are currently open for registration?

Our current 4-week spring session start dates are April 12, May 10, and June 7. Spaces are limited and registration is first come, first served.

Are parents allowed to stay?

Parents are welcome to ask questions at drop-off and pick-up, but we encourage families to drop off and return at the end of the session. This helps the kids settle in, build independence, and stay focused during the program.

What should my child wear?

Long pants, closed-toe boots with a small heel if possible, and weather-appropriate layers are best. We’ll send a prep email before the session begins with everything you need to know.

What should I pack?

A water bottle or drink and a light snack are perfect. Kids often enjoy having a snack during the in-class portion of the session.

Is this just riding?

Riding is part of it, but the full experience includes horse care, groundwork, in-class learning, and building trust with the horse. It’s designed to help kids become confident, well-rounded riders.
