Rogers Equestrian Center will provide riders with the knowledge and skills essential for maximizing the client as well as the horse. We offer a variety of teaching techniques to best fit the individual rider while ensuring an enjoyable experience. Horseback riding can seem like work at times, but it also offers rewarding experiences, teaches responsibility, and boosts self-esteem.
We offer complete training programs for Saddle seat, Hunt seat, Western and Driving for all skill levels. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced advanced show rider, we have something for everyone. We truly enjoy guiding beginner riders through the process of training and preparing for the exciting world of showing horses, starting at the lesson tournament level and advancing up to national show ring competitions. Programs are tailored to meet individual needs, whether you are a serious competitor or a recreational rider looking to improve your skills. Age is not a limitation because it is never too early or too late to make your dream of riding a horse come true. |
