All new students begin with a 30-day Launch Package, which includes four private lessons. This introductory series allows us to assess your skill level, introduce you to our training system, and determine appropriate next steps.

After the Launch Package, students may continue by enrolling in one of our monthly Academy Memberships, which are billed every 30 days through an automated payment system. All membership enrollments require 30 days’ notice to discontinue and exit auto-pay.

All packages provide between 4-12 sessions to be used within a 30-day period. Lessons are scheduled through Acuity Scheduling, offering flexibility for students to choose their own riding times.

Please visit our FAQs or contact us if you have questions.

First, Get Started with a Launch Package

The introduction to our program is achieved through Launch Packages, giving all riders a month-long assessment to determine which instructors, horses, and programs are needed to advance their current knowledge, skills, and confidence.

After Your Launch is Complete, Evolve Within Our Academy Packages

After Launch, students have the option to enroll in POM Academy. This provides continuity for the student, horse and instructor. Through monthly lessons, our three instructors engage students at all levels in a structured and continuous learning curriculum.

Or Choose a Camp or Family Package at Any Time

We know the value of learning horsemanship and equitation in community. Riding camps offer ample outdoor time, physical skill building, and group learning through stations.  Families can share the incredible experience of horses with each other.

First Time Rider Academy Membership

Building the correct foundation for the rider's seat, balance and aids creates long term success.  Incorrect posture can create safety issues, miscommunication with the horse, and exercise related injuries.  It’s like putting too much weight on one side of a scale, eventually, the scale becomes unbalanced.  We teach riders to ride from a position of natural balance and strength.  We use exercises to eliminate bracing and compensation.  Balancing properly on a large moving object requires specific mechanical alignment.  Similar to the athletic stance taught in martial arts, riders need to learn to sit on the horse in core alignment for safety and comfort.  Too often and unnecessarily beginners rely on the reins to maintain balance.  Not only does this upset the horse but it’s a recipe for disaster when you add speed or a spook.  A rider who is leaning on the reins is unable to steer properly.  By addressing common positional faults and giving riders on long term body position strategy, we open the door to advancement.

Horsemanship and framing horse behavior

Groundwork and horsemanship training provides necessary skills for understanding and training horse behavior.  This knowledge helps both horses and riders to move away from trying to overpower or trick the horse.  Horses can problem solve, seek relaxation, and crave safe environments and posture.  Our system aligns with current understanding and best practices, changing and evolving the bond between horse and rider in a permanent way.  We use proven strategies and techniques to address stress in the horses - this will change your relationship and experience riding horses for your lifetime.  Our system creates a thinking and problem-solving rider - it’s a concrete way to grow in this sport!  Transferable to other disciplines and highly successful.
