Group Lessons
PLEASE NOTE THAT RIDING LESSONS ARE CURRENTLY FULL AND THERE IS A WAITING LIST. IF YOU ARE INQUIRING ABOUT RIDING LESSONS, WE WOULD BE HAPPY TO TAKE YOUR NAME AND PHONE NUMBER FOR THE WAITING LIST.
Group lessons are available for those aged 8 years old and up. Lessons are typically one hour long and have 3-4 students each. All students learn grooming, tacking, ground handling skills, and riding.
Students are paired with horses by their instructor based on rider age, height, weight, skill level, and temperament. Our instructors can also provide personalized training for individuals who own their own horses and wish to focus on particular skill sets. To discuss or schedule lessons please contact Carla at 724-496-5535. If you wish to tour our facility, please contact us to schedule your visit.

For the safety of all guests, staff, volunteers, riders, and animals, LEC does not permit unscheduled guests.
Summer Camps
Enjoy a fantastic week of learning about horses, improving your skills, and riding in a beautiful setting! Horse camp is designed to allow campers to progress in their riding and horsemanship skills with about three hours of "horse-time" each day. All horse camp programs spend their “non-horse time" doing lots of classic camp activities!
Lutherlyn's Horse Camps are residential, beginning on Sunday afternoon and concluding Friday evening. Learn more about our summer camp program at lutherlyn.com/summercamp. Registration for Lutherlyn's Summer Camps (including Horse Camps) opens on February 1st, and typically fill quickly as capacity is limited.

Home School Equestrian Gym Class
Our equestrian gym class is a program offered to home schooled students during school hours to allow them to earn gym class credits, and build social skills in an equestrian setting. These group lessons meet weekly, spending approximately two hours at the barn. The students learn proper grooming and tacking skills as well as basic horsemanship on the ground. We incorporate horse care skills into each lesson. Weather and skill permitting, students will enjoy a trail riding. Horseback riding is a great way to build confidence, and enjoy the therapeutic benefits of horses.
All students must bring a completed Health History Form & Riding Release to their first class. (pdf below)
Equestrian Gym Class Sessions are typically scheduled in March, April, October, and November to accommodate our great Summer Camp Programs (like Horse Camp!). You can learn more at lutherlyn.com/summercamp. For more information or to schedule please contact Carla by email at stables@lutherlyn.com.
