All of our regularly scheduled lessons are private or semi-private, with larger group lessons occasionally scheduled for drill team or traffic handling skills. Valarie Siemer, Head Trainer, has set strict guidelines for our instructors. Our training staff is proud to offer excellent instruction in all disciplines. While we start new riders in the Saddleseat discipline, once a rider has attained good control of his/her body and the horse, he/she can choose another discipline. We feel that with a good beginning, riders are prepared and balanced to in any seat. That is why we set goals and provide supervision so that he/she can meet those goals - all while having fun.

At WCM, we have very high standards for safety and horesemanship skills. We hope, that even if a rider never has the opportunity to show, that he/she will be able to ride any horse in any type of tack and know what to do to stay safe and have fun. Riders and drivers learn to groom, tack and untack, know the parts of the equipment and the parts of the horse, are responsbible to cool down the horse when finished with their lesson and put everything away. As part of the fitness program, all riders are required to stretch and do exercises at the beginning and ending of each lesson, this prepares the rider for work and allows the horses to warm up and cool down at the walk, therefore, greatly reducing injury to everyone.

Riding is truly the Sport of Kings, and we want everyone at WCM to have a fabulous time, while working hard to attain the goals to make each one the best he/she can be. Come visit us and see why we are so good at what we do.
