Our primary goal is to create competent, relaxed pleasure riders and horses. Our intention is to introduce our students to a broad range of equestrian activities, including equitation, showing hunters, trail riding, jumpers, and dressage from the beginner level through advanced.

Southlands conducts a full range of equestrian activities on site including unrecognized hunter/ jumper shows, specialized clinics with nationally and internationally recognized instructors, as well as summer programs and periodic evening  programs. We also provide coaching and transportation to off-site shows at the local level through “AA” Rated level. Along with this traditional aspect of horseback riding, Southlands also offers educational seminars, field trips, fundraisers and community service activities. 

Southlands has a long history of teaching the classic fundamentals of safe and sound horsemanship to children and adults alike. Our excellent teaching maintains its heritage of the highest quality equestrian education.

PLEASE NOTE WE HAVE A 24 HOUR CANCELLATION POLICY

 Southlands Lesson Cancellation Policy effective 9/1/23

When you schedule a lesson you are holding a space on the calendar of the trainer and the horse that is no longer available for other riders. Lessons and the trainers’ time are in high demand, and if you notify us in advance we may be able to schedule another rider in that time slot.  

 Please be respectful of the trainers’ schedules and the operations of the barn and email  ride@southlands.org to cancel your lesson well in advance. 

 Lessons canceled less than 24 hours in advance will be charged a $25 fee.  If you miss a lesson without any notice, you will be billed the full amount of the lesson. Thank you for your cooperation.
