At Providence we know how important it is to develop strength, balance and confidence in our riders. We staff professionals that have the knowledge and experience to teach this technique in tailored lessons appropriate for each age, ability, and level of experience. We understand that selection of suitable horses and ponies and their care and training is essential for the success of our program. We focus on hunt seat and jumping instruction for children and adults in either a group, small group, or private lessons.
