Group Lesson Requirements
For safety, riders in a group lesson must be able to perform the skills listed in the advanced beginner description (see skill levels below). This requirement is to ensure riders can control their mount in a group for the safety of all those present.
Riders who have not yet achieved the advanced beginner level must be in private or semi private lessons until they can safely ride in a group. A one-time, introductory or placement lesson is $150. After the introductory lesson, riders must schedule private or group lessons as appropriate.
Lesson pricing is based on the size of the lesson package. As the number of lessons in the package increases, the price per lesson decreases. Please note that lessons do not expire until one year after the last lesson taken.
🧭 Clear Skill Progressions
We’ve developed a structured level system (from Introductory to Advanced) to guide every rider from their very first ride to upper-level flatwork and jumping. With this progression, you’ll always know where you stand — and how to move forward confidently and safely. See accompanying chart for full skill level details, including riding expectations and horse use policies.
🏆 Showing at Beverly — What’s Required?
We are proud to offer on-site schooling shows that give our riders real experience without the high cost or time commitment of offsite competitions. But showing on our school horses comes with standards designed to protect horse welfare, encourage rider readiness, and promote positive experiences.
If you're planning to show on a Beverly school horse:- ✅ You must successfully complete at least 6 lessons in the 4 weeks prior to the show.- ✅ Riders jumping over 2’ must enter into a half lease, and over 2’6” requires a full lease arrangement.
🐴 The Heart of the Program
We are proud to say that Beverly’s school horse program is not just about checking boxes. It’s about building true horsemen and horsewomen — people who ride well, care deeply, and understand the “how” and “why” behind every interaction.
We want our students to:
- Learn to ride with confidence and correctness
- Understand horse care and welfare
- Grow at their own pace — from once-a-week recreational rides to competitive show journeys
And most importantly, we want horses to remain a joyful, meaningful part of your life, now and always.
Lesson Facilities
Indoor/outdoor, comfortable, and expansive facilities allow year-round participation in unique and special activities. Rider facilities include dust-free indoor arena with heaters, lights, and observation area with cushioned arm chairs; areas to store personal items, comfortable lounge with sofas, tables, full bath and high speed internet, gourmet kitchen for storing drinks and snacks, and enclosed quiet areas, access to hi speed internet.
School Horses
These horses are available as lesson horses based on availability and for full or partial leases on a case by case basis.
