LESSONS

At STONEBRIDGE we understand that there has to be an introduction to this "exciting world ...a "PLACE" to begin to learn how to horseback ride. Taking his model - the idea of a traditional "riding school", Kevin McGinn has acquired lesson horses perfectly suited to work with riding school students to introduce them through basic flatwork, or "dressage" to the thrill of hunter, jumper and combined training. This is made possible through the strong basic foundation of hunt seat equitation that quickly takes a beginning rider to an advanced student level, to their first horse show !!

Kevin is especially excited to meet with students that have a background in "western riding", as the emphasis in western riding is often based on speed turning competition and FUN….all essential components of a show jumping competitor.

The "IDEA" of the traditional riding school mixed with the individualized approach can take someone who perhaps would care to "test the waters” ...before jumping in and purchasing a horse.

Kevin actually began his work here on the west coast as a co-owner of Traditional Equitation School in Burbank, LA's largest equestrian facility. Teaching both beginners and advanced students, children's and adult riding lessons, he spent time "starting" students correctly so that they could go as far as their talents and time could take them. He would often council new students on the importance of "safety first", as he often has been heard to say,.."You don't teach 300 students per week, and not learn how to "size up a horse and rider in a New York second!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!”

Kevin would like to accept new students (with or without) their own horses at his new facility:
