Classes, Camps, & Clinics

As a school of horsemanship, Capricorn Equestrian Center programs are structured to teach the total concept of the horse. So in addition to riding, students are taught safety as well as how to groom, saddle and bridle a horse in order to help the student become proficient on the ground as well as in the saddle. Classroom instruction may be incorporated whenever it is necessary to achieve better understanding of a particular concept or riding style.

Capricorn offers group or private horseback riding lessons for beginning to advanced riders. If you are unsure about lessons, we offer Orientation Classes to introduce potential students to our program. You can see an outline for the different class levels on our class descriptions page.

Group lessons are taught in five-week sessions. The 90-minute classes meet once a week for five weeks and allot 30 minutes for horse preparation and 1 hour riding instruction. The fee is $120 per five-week session. (If you can't commit to a 5-week session, drop-in lessons are available to continuing students for $30 per ride.)

Private lessons are available by appointment by calling (972) 765-4075 or (972) 839-2721.
