Lessons
Both private and group lessons are taught Tuesday through Sunday all year. Instruction is provided for all levels of English style riding from beginner walk-trot through intermediate and advanced jumping. Adult lessons are also available.
Students are encouraged to participate in the care and preparation of their horse and will be instructed in the uses of tack and equipment. All students must be members of the Buffalo Equestrian Center and at least six years of age.
Instructors
We select experienced individuals to serve on the staff. Each staff member has been chosen for his or her knowledge of horses, ability to interact with people, and awareness of equine safety. They are extremely capable of providing assistance to riders at all levels of experience. Elizabeth McNabb has been the head instructor of our lesson program for the past ten years and we are very lucky to have her. Recently joining Libby this past year as assistant instructor is Sarah Miller, who has also taken on the job of Interscholastic Team Coach.
