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 with Karen, Mary Beth or Tammy.
  • 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.
COSTS:

Certified Rider Evaluation - 30 minutes - $35

Convert your Evaluation to a full 1-hour lesson - additional $40

One of your first three supervised, 1-hour lessons - $75

1-hour Certified Ride AFTER your three supervised lessons - $60

1-hour Certified Trail Lesson with Instructor - $75
