HDA offers both English and Western riding lessons, as well as carriage driving lessons. Our students range from 4 years of age to adults and we have lesson horses/ponies for every ability. Regular weekly lessons are one-hour long, although we schedule them one-and-a-half hours apart to allow adequate time for grooming, tacking, etc. Special lesson activities include trail rides, cooling out after a lesson in the sugar bush, games, bareback riding and horsey soccer.
