Are horses and tack provided?

Yes. MSB provides the lesson horse, tack, and hands-on guidance, so families do not need to own a horse or arrive with equipment to get started.

How do I know which program is right for my rider?

Your Discovery Lesson helps confirm the right fit. Private, semi-private, 30-minute, and 1-hour formats serve different ages, confidence levels, and learning styles.

How does the Discovery Lesson reimbursement work?

When you enroll in one of MSB's ongoing lesson programs, the full cost of your Discovery Lesson is reimbursed.

Are beginners welcome?

Yes. Beginner riders are welcome, and lessons can continue through intermediate, advanced, leasing, showing, and camp pathways as riders grow.
