Riding Academy

Introduce, Educate, Inspire





The Partridge Riding Academy introduces riders of all ages to the equestrian sport each weekend from 8:30am to 3:30pm. We provide our riders with the education required to develop a solid foundation of hands-on horsemanship skills, both on and off their mounts. Acquiring these skills allows riders to develop confidence and competence, inspiring them to pursue their competitive goals and grow into accomplished equestrians.


The horses & ponies in our Riding Academy are carefully selected for their safety, experience and suitability to teach various levels of riders from first time riders, to adults returning to the sport to those who simply want to ride and continue their development at their own pace. The majority of our mounts have had show careers at both the regional and national level and are well suited to teaching the basic skills required to develop a solid foundation right from the start.


We strongly believe in developing a strong foundation in horsemanship skills which is why each ride includes tacking up, un tacking and grooming instruction for our new riders in addition to their ride. In order for our instructors to provide their undivided attention to each rider, we offer our rides in a private or semi private format.


All of our PA Riding Academy riders are invited to participate in The Partridge Acres Series horse shows held on site between May- September. In addition to showing opportunities, we host numerous special events year-round here at Partridge Acres for families to be a part of. We look forward to sharing our knowledge and welcoming you and your family to the PA Family!

attire





Set yourself up for success with the correct attire. Please follow this dress code as a guideline for appropriate lesson attire:


Boots: Paddock boots, with or without half or full chaps, or field boots (or at minimum boots with at least a half-inch heel). Winter riding boots or other half-inch heel winter boots help keep feet warm in cooler temperatures.


Pants: Jodhpurs or breeches (or at minimum fitted legging type pants or jeans). No Shorts or dresses/skirts when riding.


Tops: Polo shirts or T-Shirts or appropriate sleeveless shirts with wider straps for warm weather (please no tank tops). Long sleeves, vests, sweaters (please no hoods as they flop around and are distracting) and jackets that are comfortable but not too baggy for colder weather.


Helmets: All students must wear a safety approved ASTM riding helmet (we have a selection available to borrow for rides, but it is recommended that each student has their own)


Hair: Please ensure hair is either in a braid or braids, pony tail or tucked up in the helmet. Hair nets are required for ages 12+ (if medium/longer hair) please ask how to correctly use a hair net with a riding helmet.


Gloves: recommended to protect your hands and keep them warm in cooler weather.
