Penwick encourages all boarders and students lesson at least once a week. We find this is the best way to continue to progress in our riding. Whether your goal is to do an unrecognized event or compete at the top levels it is the best way to stay competitive. All lessons are either private or semi-private. For our more advanced riders we will hold group lessons for cross country or jumping as needed.
For Adult Amateurs we tailor your lessons to meet your short and long term goals. We have an active group of adults that enjoy attending local dressage shows, hunter paces, events and doing group trail rides. Lessons with Chelsea or Marion are $45 for a 45 minute private lesson or a 60 minute semi-private.
For children ages 4 to 16 we offer a program that teaches correct balanced riding on the flat and over fences as well as an in-depth program teaching horse management, veterinary skills, horse care and training methods.
Cross Country Lessons are $55 per a student for a 2 hour session, grounds fees are paid to location which will vary in price. Local schoolings have no travel fee.
Our Children's Lesson Program is taught by Chelsea Palmer and Jennifer Waters.
For more information please see Chelsea.
Penwick welcomes horses of all levels in for training.
Young Horse Training (this is for horses who have not been started under saddle) $975/month (includes board), 5 training sessions a week for approximately 30+ minutes depending on what is needed for that day.
We will get your baby “stacked out”, started under saddle moving forward in the walk, trot and canter. With a foundation of dressage training your young horse will be ready for any discipline. We will also get them out and exposed to varied terrain, water and trails. We encourage owners to come and attend several sessions with their horse so they can be involved in the process. After the first 60 days your young horse can move into our Full Training program for further training.
Regular Horse Training (for horses that are well started under saddle). Horses are given training in the areas of Dressage, Stadium Jumping and Cross Country.
Basic Training: 1 lesson a week, 2 training ride a week: $924/month.
Full Training: 1 lesson a week, 4 training rides a week: $1,200/month.
All Packages: Lessons cannot be carried forward from week to week. Must be taken each week or it will become a training session automatically. Packages may also be structured for multiple lessons and remainder training rides, please speak to Chelsea for more information.
If another combination is needed, please speak to Chelsea for pricing.
All Training packages include the following in addition to the training rides:
Individual training session can be purchased for $45 a ride, with the session lasting 45 minutes or as much time is needed for that session.
Boarders in a Training Package may purchase additional training rides for $28 per ride.
Boarders in the Lesson Board program may purchase training rides for $30 per ride.
Penwick is also very capable and enjoys the retraining an off the track thoroughbred (OTTB) or a “problem” horse. More experienced horses are welcome as well for tune up rides or we can help with a particular issue or assist you in moving up a level.
Before any horse comes in for training we will meet with the owner and horse to make sure we set expectations and appropriate goals for the time frame the horse is with us. Other packages can be customized to meet the needs of almost any situation. For more information on our training program, please contact Chelsea or Marion.
