HHF offers riding lessons for the beginner through intermediate Hunter/Jumper or Dressage rider taught by Vita Taormina. We also have an advanced trainer who can come in to teach students who are riding at the higher levels of the Hunters, Jumpers or Eventing. HHF has beginner school horses who are capable of helping a rider learn the basics on up through small jumping lessons. Students at HHF learn not only how to ride but all that good horsemanship includes such as grooming, basic horse care, knowledge of equipment and equine anatomy, etc.
School horses are available to current students for day leases to go to shows that HHF is attending. This is a separate fee from coaching, please inquire.
Students owning their own horse may truck-in to have a lesson at HHF. We have a full stadium course in our outdoor arena and can offer limited jumping lessons in the winter in our indoor. Beginning spring of 2008 students may truck-in for XC schooling lessons on the new XC course.

Here is what students have to say about their experience at HHF:
I have greatly appreciated that my lessons are geared to work with my individual strengths and weaknesses — and are not just a set format, whether I am ready for that format or not. I am retaining a lot more of what I learn because of that approach.

Vita is an excellent riding instructor. She is patient, kind and has a thorough knowledge of horsemanship and all types of english riding.
