What do We Offer?

Riding Lessons

Currently, riding lessons with Yvonne Welz are prioritized towards advanced beginner or intermediate students who are specifically interested in classical riding and/or bitless schooling. Private one-on-one lessons are priced at $65 per hour and include the use of one of our schoolhorses at our San Tan Valley, Arizona facility. Yvonne also offers the (now rare) classical lunging lessons to develop your seat on the lungeline with no reins or stirrups.

We do have limited openings at the moment, but don’t be afraid to ask, even if you are a beginner!

Barefoot Hoof Trimming
