Westernaires Adult Ride Program

Ready to get back in the saddle again?

Westernaires Adult Ride Program will be offering its mandatory orientation for new riders: Wednesday, February 7th, 2024 at 6:30PM in the Westernaires Red Arena. We are a popular, positive and encouraging program designed for adults 18 years and older.

Note: if you have ridden with us in the past 5 years, or if you are alumni of Westernaires, you do not need to attend this orientation. All others MUST attend orientation in order to participate in the Adult Ride season.

In this orientation session, you will learn:

  • What Westernaires Adult Ride is all about

  • How to catch, groom and tack up the Westernaires way and you will have hands on practice, so wear sturdy boots!

  • Safety around horses

  • What riding levels we offer and when classes will be held

  • Cost per session

  • What to wear

  • How we will communicate with you

Again, Adult Ride participants who have ridden with us within the past five (5) years or are Westernaires alumni do not need to attend the orientation event.

This is a great opportunity for adults to safely gather and enjoy horses, so we respectfully request that children be left at home for the orientation and the classes.

Any questions please email us at adultride@westernaires.org.

Or follow us on Facebook @ WesternairesAdultRideProgram.

**We regret that we are not able to accommodate rental riders who weigh more than 225 lbs.  Our wonderful rental string is just not able to handle more than that, unfortunately. We truly appreciate your understanding!**

^^There are currently three levels of classes to accommodate a variety of rider types.  

Level 1 is for beginners -- those who have never ridden, or who last rode long ago. 

Level 2 is for riders who have some horse experience and feel ready for more challenges, are comfortable at various speeds (walk, trot, and lope), and have some familiarity with the "Westernaires way" of doing things, but might need some coaching.  

Level 3 is for experienced riders comfortable riding at speed for a consistent amount of time.
