Raise Your Dreams Farm 328 East Lake Road  Pilesgrove, NJ  08098  

856-769-3722

Horseback riding lessons are a goal oriented, curriculum driven program.  All lessons begin with goals and the systematic approach to attain those goals.  We cater lessons to the desires of the riders.  All beginner lessons are private.  Horses are herd animals and when students are put in group lessons the horse is just following the horse in front of them. Lessons are based upon the European balanced seat.  Once a student can stop, walk, and steer a horse on their own, they are then given lunge lessons. The reins are then taken away to develop the seat and the leg of the rider. This approach enables the rider to create balance and harmony with the horse. Riders learn how to ride effectively and efficiently.  It is a great privilege to ride these beautiful horses and ponies.  It is with this understanding that the students learn how to create harmony and balance in their handling of their horse.
