Woodland's Certified Rider Program is for area riders
who know how to ride but are not interested in a traditional
lesson program.

Here is how it works...
  • Call the Center at 301-421-9156 to schedule a Certified
    Rider Evaluation.
  • Once you have been "Certified" by a Woodland Instructor
    you must complete three successful on-site rides (1-hour
    each) with a supervising instructor.
  • If you pass your three on-site rides, you will be permitted
    to ride on-property and in the rings without an instructor
    but within site of the rings and barns.


What must I know to pass?
  • You must be comfortable at the walk, trot, canter, take a
    small jump at the trot and be well-seated if your horse
    spooks.


What if I do not pass the Evaluation?
  • You may convert your Certified Rider Evaluation into a  
1-hour lesson for an additional fee.  


What if all I want to do is Trail Ride?
  • You must pass your Certified Rider Evaluation and be
    enrolled in our Trail Lesson Program.
  • You must be with a Woodland Horse Center instructor at
    all times during a Trail Lesson.
