For us riding horses isn't just a hobby, it's our passion.

And we'd like to share that passion with you.!

Pony Gang Equestrian Services emphasizes the fundamentals of good horsemanship and riding.

We aim to create a solid foundation for sport riders and hobbyists.

Horseback riding lessons and instruction are an important part of keeping your equine partnership strong and enjoyable for both you and your horse. This is as true for the serious competitor working to move up the levels as it is for the hobbyist rider.

Our lesson program is designed to be a comprehensive educational program open to beginners through advanced riders.

Our program is goal oriented for the committed serious rider.

We strive to progress each student towards achieving the goal of lease/horse ownership as well as being successful in the hunter/jumper show ring.

We have safe lesson horses that will teach you what you need to know about how to control the horse in many situations.

Our emphasis is on the equitation (how you look and ride the horse) of the rider and horsemanship (how well you work as a team). We believe that if the rider has good equitation, then the rider could ride most any horse or discipline.

Whether you have a young child beginning a lifetime of horseback riding or are a seasoned competitor, Pony Gang Equestrian Services has a program to help you excel as an equestrian.

Our beginner Hunter/Jumper horseback riding lessons are only private (1 rider).

When the rider has learned the balanced seat and can control the mount in a walk and trot, then we will move into group lesson (2 - max 3 riders).

With us you can ride horses without having to own your own riding horses. Our affordable cost of riding lessons give every beginner and experienced the chance to take riding lesson. It’s $55 for a 30 minute private and 60 minutes group lesson (2-3 riders).

Important Notice for new Riders!


The 20% rule is a widely accepted guideline in the equestrian world that helps ensure the well-being of horses. This rule states that a horse should carry no more than 20% of its own body weight, including tack. By following this rule, we can prevent undue stress and potential injury to our horses.

At our riding school, we take this rule seriously. Our lesson horses typically weigh max of 1100 lbs, which means our weight limit for English riding is 190 lbs,

We apologize to anyone above these weight limits, but our priority is the health and safety of our horses. Currently, we do not have a lesson horse that can accommodate higher weights. Thank you for your understanding and support in helping us care for our equine partners.
