SCHOOL OF RIDING

Christine Wehling offers group lessons for children and adults at all levels (8 to 88 years old).  Following French teaching methods, each student progresses through 7 different levels of riding.  Students learn riding, safety, daily horse care and health care.  By the time they master the last level, students should be able to care for and ride different horses safely and independently in dressage (2nd level), jumping (3½ foot high course), cross country and trail riding.  The last level is not the end of the journey but the beginning of a passionate quest.  

Christine Wehling is able to follow up with students who want to become real masters in the art of dressage, but for those who prefer jumping, the 7th gallop will give them a solid start and will allow them to go on learning with the best trainers.  Christine offers private lessons for advanced riders who need a more intense one-on-one attention, for beginner students who need time to grow in confidence before joining in a group, or for horse owners who need special help with their special horse.

Christine understands that horseback riding will not become a lifetime commitment for every single student, but she believes that good teaching is going to help everybody become more aware of their bodies and surroundings and more in touch with the natural world.  So whether you want to get back in the saddle now that the kids are off to college, satisfy a horse thirsty “I-want-a-pony” daughter, develop a more satisfying relationship with your horse, or become the next master of the century (?), École d’Équitation can be the right place for you.
