Dressage Lessons for Young Adults and Adults

Focused coaching. Proven results. Whether you’re riding for pleasure or training for the show ring, our private and semi-private lessons offer tailored instruction to meet your specific goals. We encourage a monthly commitment to ensure consistent progress in the saddle.

To support our riders' dedication, we offer a Pre-Payment Discount for all four-lesson packages.

Booking & Cancellation Policy

Private Lesson Pricing
 

  • The pre-payment discount is only available when payment is received before the first lesson of the package. Payments made after the lesson date will be charged the single-lesson price multiplied by four for the month.

    • Four-lesson packages are designed to be completed within the same calendar month to maintain consistent progress.
       

 

Cancellations and Make-ups
 

  • We understand life happens!

  • To remain eligible for a make-up session, please provide at least 24 hours' notice for any cancellation. *Without this notice, the lesson is forfeited and billed at full price.

  • Lessons are held to a strict schedule. Arrivals more than 15 minutes late will be considered a "no-show," resulting in a cancelled session and a full charge.

    • If a lesson is missed with proper notice, a make-up session will be scheduled within five weeks of the first of the month. Please note that make-up credits do not roll over to the following month's tuition.

  • We offer one "short-notice" illness cancellation every 90 days at no charge. The instructor will provide specific dates for your rescheduled session.

  • To ensure the safety of both horse and rider, the instructor reserves the right to adjust lesson length based on weather conditions, rider stamina, or concentration levels.

Lesson Attire & Requirements

  • Riders must wear boots with a hard 1/2-inch heel (no sneakers, sandals, or flat-bottom shoes allowed). Paddock boots with half chaps or tall boots are required after your fourth lesson.

  • Riders must wear long pants. Riding pants required after your fourth lesson. Shirts must be tucked in. Long hair pulled back and in a ponytail. Please do not wear tank tops. 

  • All riders must wear a helmet. It is best to bring your own to ensure proper fit, but if you don’t have one, we will provide one until you get your own.

  • Due to the age and size of our lesson ponies, we are unable to accommodate beginner riders over 180 lbs.

Testimonials

Jes Lackey

I switched to Hill Crest from another facility about a year ago and I LOVE it here. I thought learning to ride as an adult would be awkward, but I was way off. Lisa is an incredible teacher, and makes the whole experience comfortable and rewarding. I also really benefit from lessons with Terri, who is also a wonderful instructor, and a calming presence. I would recommend this place to anyone. P.S. The horses are so well cared for and sweet and lovely, and I think about them all week. My weekly lesson is real self-care. 10/10 would recommend.

Lizzie Babinchak

After losing my horse and taking a long hiatus, I wasn’t sure I’d ever return to the sport. Finding Hill Crest Farms in my late twenties has been a total turning point. Lisa and Terri have an incredible ability to meet adult riders where they are, perfectly blending technical expertise with genuine encouragement. For the first time in years, I’m excited to be at the barn. I can’t recommend Hill Crest enough to anyone seeking a professional, supportive home for their equestrian journey.

Mikaela Mastromatto

I absolutely love Hill Crest Farm! Lisa, the owner and trainer, is extremely knowledgeable and patient. I switched over from the hunters/jumpers discipline and I have been LOVING dressage. Every lesson focuses on specific skills that build from the previous lesson and I’ve been learning SO much. Lisa is great at explaining and demonstrating what she is teaching. I need that as an adult beginner!
Everyone I have met at the barn has been friendly and the barn is always tidy. I can definitely tell the horses are well taken care of and happy.
