Horsemanship Lessons

At Still Water Stables your goals are our goals.  Tweety, our head instructor, has been teaching in the Northern Middle Tennessee area for almost 30 years! 

Our lesson program focuses on safety, horsemanship, and learning how to develop relationships with our equine companions.   We offer recreational, competitive, or training lessons in all seats to suit your goals and needs.

In addition, private, semi-private, and group instruction are available to further accommodate our riders. At SWS we teach the complete horses, not just riding.  You can expect your lessons to include ground skills, such as grooming and tacking, riding skills, horsemanship skills, and equine management, and plan for 1 of every 4-6 lessons to be on the ground learning essential equestrian skills.

Lessons are taught in an incremental manner, with goals to achieve in order to move through to the next level in the program. This allows our riders to not only create goals for themselves but also to easily recognize their progression.  We use a level up program, with students starting at a Level A and working their way up through levels B, C, D, E and 3 divisions of Open levels.  Leveling up is an exciting achievement at SWS, and students work hard to achieve goals both on and off their horses in order to accomplish moving up to the next skill level.

Lesson horses are provided, or you may bring your own! 

For safety boots, pants, and helmets are required of all riders in a lesson regardless of age or ability level.  Helmets are provided for the first 8 lessons, after which time we will help you find one that is right for you!
