    Welcome to Cedar Ridge Farm's riding lesson page. We are located in Greenville, IN on the sunnyside of Louisville, KY, within Floyd County. We have 40 years of experience with horses! We offer some of the best amenities in our area for our lesson students and parents. We have an indoor arena with air conditioned/heated lounge area with bathroom and viewing windows to indoor arena. We also have two outdoor arenas. We have student tested and parent approved lesson horses available. Lessons are once a week and last for one hour. Included in lessons are safety around horses, learning to groom and tack up your horse, and mounted instruction. We like our students to be very hands on. We advance our students to higher levels of ridng skills when our instructors feel they are ready, not all students advance at the same pace. Safety has been and always is a priority at our facility, we provide your child with a required approved riding safety helmet if they do not have their own. We also require appropriate riding attire, long pants with a riding boot such as a western boot, paddock boot, or tall english riding boot with a distinct heel. Tennis shoes or boots with bulky soles such as a hiking boot or not allowed. We take pride in the fact that most of our clients are referred to us by current and former satisfied lesson students. Our students have great success in and out of the show ring! We have started numerous families on the right track to horse ownership. We accept young children 5 years of age and up. We have tried to give lessons to younger children than that upon request of parents and have found children that young do not have the neccessary attention span and ability to follow instructions. We recommend that they wait until at least 5 years of age. We will discuss with each parent personally the riding experience of each child and make recommendations as to whether they should take private or group lessons. When children take group lessons they are put with other children with similiar riding abilities.
