Riding Instruction at Reddemeade
We offer English riding lessons for people of all ages and riding ability - from those who have never been on a horse to experienced riders who wish to polish their skills.
Free Introductory Lesson
If you are interested in taking lessons, we invite you to come out to attend our free introductory lesson, which is held most Saturdays at 1:30 PM. This is a great way to see the farm and meet our horses and instructors. If you have never taken a riding lesson, it will give you a chance to experience the fun and challenge of learning to ride. If you are an experienced rider, it will give us an opportunity to observe your riding and suggest classes that are appropriate to your level. If you would like to attend this free introductory lesson, please call us at (301) 421-4481

Our Philosophy
Our commitment is to quality not quantity. The number of students in each group lesson is limited so that each student receives individual attention. We have separate classes for children and adults. Students are grouped according to ability and experience level. We offer continuous enrollment, so you may begin your lessons as soon as you wish. For students with some riding experience and a desire to ride more often, without the obligations of horse ownership, we also offer Equishare, a membership riding program. Ask any instructor for more information about Equishare. Dressage lessons on FEI Schoolmasters are available to qualified riders.
We offer group, private and semi-private lessons. Our group lessons comprise 5 to 6 students of similar age and riding ability. Group lessons meet for one hour at the same time and day each week with the same instructor. Children's lessons meet during the late afternoon and early evening on weekdays and throughout the day on weekends. Adult lessons are generally scheduled on weekday evenings and weekends. Daytime lessons are also available for those whose schedule permits them to ride on weekdays during the day.
Our school horses are patient and well mannered and our teaching staff is of the highest quality in the region - including several who have ridden to the international levels in dressage and three day eventing and a certified national riding safety clinician. All of our teaching staff participates in an in-house continuing education program to enhance their professional skills, teaching technique and safety awareness.
