New riders will start out the lesson by learning how to groom and the order of brushes. The next procedure is tacking, with help from the instructor if necessary. Riders will begin at the walk as Kim explains not only cues and signals, but how and why we do them and why they are affective. Riders will usually get to trot by the end of the first lesson! Following lessons included learning to catch a horse in the paddock, apply a halter, and how to properly lead a horse to the barn. The quick-release knot is also taught and will promote safety whenever the horse is tied up. More advanced riders will fine-tune their posture and communication skills by exercises such as jumping and dressage movements and by riding more difficult mounts.

All ages of students will learn everything there is to know about horses, from colors and breeds to horse training. Students will learn equine anatomy and physiology and how that incorporates with training methods, conformation and injuries, and nutritional needs. Pharmacology is also touched upon: why we keep certain drugs in the barn and what they are used for, routine vet work, farrier work, and worming schedules. Students will learn how to better their ground work and communication skills and to work as a leader with individual horses and also the herd. Kim will talk about toxicology, poisonous plants and drugs, and what their clinical signs are. Aspects of horse ownership are covered, such as paperwork and daily care, including knowing the equine vital signs and when to call the vet. Steps for buying or selecting a horse is thoroughly explained (different breeds, different disciplines) and training a horse from the ground up. Each class is age-appropriate, and will include interactive and fun games, challenges, and puzzles. For example, younger students work with crossword puzzles and cut out pictures from tack catalogs while more experienced students will measure lines and angles to determine conformation and different breed standards. Kim makes learning fun and exciting!

Young riders learn to safely and confidently ride all by themselves with the most obedient and docile horses with tiny Western saddles that offer the most secure seat for their small frames. First, students will learn how to groom and the order or brushes. Next, they watch as the instructor tacks up and explains the parts of the saddle and bridle. For the first lesson, students begin on the lunge line while the instructor explains proper cues and asks them the put their hands "out like an airplane" and "up to the sky" to test their balance at the walk, and at later lead line lessons, at the trot. Most students will ride by themselves around the arena at the walk at the end of the first lesson. Before leaving, students will assist in quick little chores such as dumping grain into the horse's feed dishes or clean the stalls. Little students should pay attention because Kim frequently quizzes them on their equestrian knowledge- winners receive horse treats for their horse!
