We have been working hard to offer the public an opportunity to stretch their equestrian opportunities in an affordable and convenient way during these tough economic times. We have been training horses for a flat monthly fee including board and lessons to the owner, plus providing riding lessons for all ages, and summer camps for children below the market price of other summer equestrian camps comparable to ours.
We are pleased to announce two new opportunities for horse lovers who have limited time and funds, but would love the opportunity to become involved in riding and various equestrian activities. Baymount Farm has created and is offering a new Intro to Horsemanship class at Mitchell Community College this fall. This class starts September 9, 2010 on Thursdays from 6:30 – 8:30 pm for six weeks. The class will cover briefly many aspects of the equestrian industry, including various disciplines; hunt seat, dressage, equitation, western and gaited riding. Also covered will be the different equestrian businesses, equine contracts and laws, grooming and demonstrations at local barns. More information can be found at http://www.mitchellcc.edu/cec/forms/MCC_CE_Schedule_Fall10.pdf on page 14 of the Continuing Education Booklet online.
Also beginning in September will be special classes just for Mom’s. These will cover learning to care for, tack and ride horses with trail riding for groups of 4. Classes will be scheduled Monday, Wednesday and Fridays in the mornings. This gives Mom’s an opportunity to treat themselves special while their children are in school and take a break from the humdrum of cleaning, shopping, planning and all the daily activities of managing a family. Visit the LESSON page on www.baymountacres.com for pricing and more information.
All in all, I am expecting this to be an exciting fall for 2010. Hope to see you soon.
