Lessons
The Double OO’king Ranch lesson program accommodates riders of varied ages, skill levels, and disciplines. Students learn through a multilevel curriculum that focuses on safety and fundamentals. Lessons are structured to encourage students to develop equestrian skills as well as life skills: problem solving, conflict resolution, relationship building, and compassionate communication.
Horses
Students are matched to horses based on the student’s experience and skill level. Over time, students may ride various horses to expand skills and build confidence. The Double OO’king Ranch also welcomes riders with their own horse to haul in for lessons. Whether you ride your own horse or one of ours, lessons incorporate games and activities to ensure learning is fun for young and old alike.
