In 1960 when Triple-R opened its gates for the first time horses were an important part of the Ranches activity plans. We meet adults today who still remember the names of their favorite Triple-R horses from when they were kids! Horseback riding is still important year round here. Triple-R's riding program is supervised and taught by well trained, qualified instructors who put safety as priority one. Learning horsemanship in a safe manner is very important to us, a conviction you'll see expressed in everything we do with horses at the Ranch.
- Experienced professional staff
- Exceptional well-mannered horses
- Triple R follows Alpha Omega Horsemanship Certification
- Riders are encouraged to grow in horsemanship skill and relationship with God
- Riders learn the importance of safety and control
Lessons
While taking lessons at Triple R Ranch riders will work at their own individual pace, grow in their riding skills and build upon these skills as they complete each stage of our riding program. Always keeping safety in the forefront, the first stage riders will work through is Foundations. Then they will move on through the stages of Principles, Disciplines, Performance and Refinement.
Each option below is for 10 lessons
Group Lessons (Ages 8-up)
Thursdays 4:00PM and Saturdays 9:00AM, 10:30AM, and 1:00PM
For ages 8 and up (and we mean up!) It is never too late to learn to ride. We encourage teens and adults to inquire about riding lessons at Triple R. In your group lesson you will enjoy interacting with other horselovers, forming friendships, progressing in your skills together, while learning how horses interact with one another in a group setting.
Cost- $350 ($325 if paid in full by your first lesson)

If you prefer to have one on one instruction, private lessons will provided you with an environment that helps you progress more quickly. Instructors will identify and address area that need attention and then spend the time to help you perfect your skills.
