General Info:
Tally Ho Equestrian Center would like to welcome and invite you to our new facility. The facility is spread out over 45 acres and includes a 200 x 200 ft. riding ring, and a second grass crossrail/dressage ring. Our barn has 30- 12 x 12 ft. stalls, utility room, feed room, lesson program tack room, 10 crossties and two hot/cold wash racks, a boarders tack room, lounge and two bathrooms. Tally Ho offers lessons, boarding, camps, horse sales and training. Most lesson students begin in private hour lessons at a rate of $30 per lesson. The lessons will instruct the student in how to balance, steer and handle the horse while they progress at their own pace. When the student is confident and ready they will move into a group lesson where they ride with other students at their same riding level. Groups offer the students an opportunity to meet other fellow horse lovers and watch each other ride and learn together. When they progress to riding with three students in their group then the lessons automatically become an hour in length at the same rate of $30 per student. As the student progresses he/she will do more and more of getting the horse ready for the lesson and putting him away when the lesson is over. Students ride a minimum of one lesson per week and may reschedule for another time if a 24 hr. notice is given. For those previously experienced riders, they will progress at their own pace and from their current level. We also offer lessons to students 4 to 7 years old from our assistant instructor, Teresa Blackmon. Lessons run as scheduled rain or shine, if we have poor weather then we head indoors and have a hands-on barn lesson. A barn lesson is a wonderful opportunity to learn more skills out of the saddle that the students will need if they hope to own their own horse one day, horse show or just learn more about their sport. They will learn a broad range of skills, such as: grooming, tacking, blanketing, feeding, getting ready for a horse show, medical care and how to put a horse on a trailer. There are also camps which run throughout the year which offer a way to further a students horse experience or to expose a new or possible student to the world of horses.
