LESSONS
Manito Equestrian Center Lessons
Manito's year round lesson program concentrates on safe and thorough instruction for students interested in dressage, hunt seat, western, or recreational riding. Every discipline is taught with an emphasis on the balanced seat. Each riding instructor on staff brings their own unique and knowledgeable background to the lesson program. Manito's unique approach to instruction includes teaching the basics of horse care, safety, and stable management in addition to riding. Our goal is to help all of our students become not only wonderful riders, but also well rounded, accomplished equestrians. Our lessons are taught in the ring, out in our expansive fields, and on the trails. Our program is designed to build self confidence and self esteem in our students, and (most of all) to have fun!
