Evergreen Stables

Horseback Riding Lessons:
     We start riding lessons at age 7, though older children are able to learn more, and learn more quickly. Adult Students are also very welcome. We have safe horses that will teach you what you need to know about how to control the horse in many situations. Our emphasis is on the equitation of the rider. We believe that if the rider has good equitation, then the rider could ride most any horse or discipline.

    Our lessons are only private (1 rider) or semi-private (2 riders) lessons. We do not do group lessons (more than 2 riders). You can have a lesson on your horse or one of our lesson horses. It’s $35 for a 45 minute private lesson, or $25 for a 45 minute semi-private lesson. We teach everyone how to tack, untack and care for the horse. That includes, grooming, tacking, warming up, riding, and cooling down your horse. We want you learn how to take care of a horse in the event you would ever want to buy one.

     We have lessons every day of the week excluding Sundays, when there are no lessons. Most lessons are Monday through Friday from 5pm-8pm. Also Saturdays from 10am-3pm. Please call for availability.

     Also we offer lessons at your own place. If you would like some lessons on your horse, but don’t want to leave your own property, then we can travel to your place. We will travel as far as 20 miles from our farm. Please give us a call if your interested in learning more.

   We do not offer trail riding for the general public. Please look on the links page for trail riding areas near Rochester, NY. 

Boarding:
      We also have boarding for up to 8 horses. Call for availability. We can help you purchase a horse and help you learn how to care for its needs. Our emphasize is on horsemanship. All horses are treated as if they are our own, with love and care. Horses' welfare comes first. 
      We also offer winter board. If you would like a place to ride, but can't in the winter, feel free to board here for a few months. 
No long term contracts required.

     We have lessons every day of the week excluding Sundays, when there are no lessons, but the barn is open to the boarders and to those who lease a horse. The barn is open 7 days a week and on holidays from 9 AM to 9 PM. Boarders are allowed to ride with the lessons but lesson students have the right of way. Boarders do not have to take lessons, or have any training when you board here, but are available if desired.

Horse Shows:
    We go to some horse shows in the area but showing is not a mandatory part of the program. We are a member of the Empire State Riding Academy Horse Show Series. (ESRAS) This is a group of 4 shows in the summer for lesson students on lesson horses only. Both Adult riders and Juniors have fun showing off their skills.

   We also go to Clarkson Open Horse Show which is for English and Western Riders, or we can trailer you to any other local show so long as you board here. We have had some small horse shows here at our own place, both English and Western.

Newsletter:
    We put out a monthly/bi-monthly newsletter to all out lesson students and boarders to keep up with current events and happenings around the farm (Pony Tales). Feel free to check out what is happening this month.

    **We also have an online group for everyone to write to each other with their ideas, or getting together for a ride. If you are a student, or a boarder of Evergreen Stables, please sign up at: http://sports.groups.yahoo.com/group/evergreenstables/
