How about an introductory riding lesson, or better yet a lesson package? I teach beginners starting at age 6, and my oldest student is in her 50's! Private lessons start at $35 (check around, our prices are great!) and we have the best facilities in the area. Covered and open arenas, clean airy barn, lounge and fantastic lesson horses! Call Kim at 713.501.7614 for more information. Unlike many extracurricular activities we do not require "contracts" or annual activity fees. Just pay for your lessons! Our website is www.sfhunterjumper.com. Merry Christmas!
