Lessons & Training

When you enroll at Greenbriar, you will learn far more than riding techniques. We strive to provide your family with an environment where individuals are also able to develop critical life skills, including self-confidence, sportsmanship and responsibility.

Adult Camps are held Monday, Tuesday, Thursday and Friday mornings from 9:00 am - noon. Each camp includes a one-hour riding lesson. The balance of time is spent on horse handling, horse psychology and training methods. Information will also cover rider awareness and how we influence a horse's behavior.

These camps will prepare you for weekly group lessons held in the evenings and on Saturday. Please see our event calendar for our current adult camp dates.

This program is designed to develop the necessary skills to safely ride and/or own a horse. There are six levels of achievement, with each level teaching additional information in these four categories: riding skills, horse handling skills, equipment knowledge and horse health. The student's riding skills are developed during group riding lessons each day.

Horse handling skills and equipment knowledge are taught with a supervised, hands-on approach through grooming, saddling, bridling, heeding and feeding of an assigned horse. Each level has its own manual covering the knowledge needed to pass that level, and a certificate is awarded upon the level's completion. Please see our current Summer Day Camp event calendar!
