 ***************************************************************************************
Lessons:
We accept students ages 4 through adult into our lesson program.
Children ages 4-7 are encouraged to enroll in our individually
assisted group lessons initially to safely gain the needed strength and
coordination to handle a horse in a group situation.
When possible, we place students in age-appropriate groups of 4 to
8 students. Our lessons run
on weekday afternoons and all day Saturday and Sunday.
Urbana Riding Club invites you to take a FREE INTRODUCTORY LESSON
where you’ll get a chance to see the facilities,
meet our staff and horses, and sample a lesson with no cost or
obligation. Please look at our lesson schedule below to choose
an appropriate lesson then fill out the lesson form from important
forms
and mail or fax it in... or contact our office to schedule.
We do not require formal riding attire; long pants and closed-toe shoes
with a short heel are fine. We have riding
helmets to lend you initially to minimize your expenses while you are
giving the exciting sport of horseback riding a try.
Our
qualified instructors are continually improving themselves by competing
and participating in clinics. They pass their experiences and other valuable information on
to their students in a way that is both fun and challenging, with emphasis
on safety and kindness to the horses.
Practice Rides:
Practice Rides offer members the opportunity to practice riding and horse
care skills without the expense and responsibility of owning a
horse. Urbana Riding Club's Practice Rides are scheduled through the
office and are generally held on Saturday afternoons at
1:00. A trained staff member will help with tacking
the horse and supervise the riding. If you are a current leaser that would
like to do practice rides in the summer when leasing is not an option, you
may ride when you like but URC may choose which horse.
Email urc@urbanaridingclub.com,
call our office at 301.874.2000 or talk to your instructor to
sign up
Leasing: This is an
unsupervised program which allows students to practice their riding skills
without the expense and responsibility of owning their own horse. Program
runs fall through spring.
Note the leasing program is not offered for the summer quarter due to the camp
program. We do still offer practice rides in the summer.
*The riding school has priority over the use of the horses,
you may choose a different horse to ride if "your" horse
is being used. Ask the instructor which horse is appropriate.
*Leasers must be enrolled in weekly riding lessons at Urbana Riding Club.
*Instructor approval is necessary to lease.
*Leaser must be at least 10 years of age.
*No riding in the indoor arena during lessons without
instructor approval..
*No jumping without prior instructor permission.
*No jumping cross country
*Urbana Riding Club trails only
*Never ride alone

Fall
Quarter Lesson Registration
needs to be paid by August 15th for current students to guarantee
your spot. After the 15th
it will be open to the general public.
You MUST be registered (form filled out & turned in
including payment with the forms) BEFORE (five minutes before
doesn’t count) attending a lesson in the new quarter.
Yes, you need to fill out a new form each quarter and no, you may
not just bring the payment with you to the first lesson in the quarter.
This will avoid over-crowded lessons and confused staff (we’re
easily confused)! Fall Quarter begins
Sept. 1st.
Make-up lessons are done as practice rides Saturday’s
at 1:00. Leadline lessons are
the ONLY exception! You must
email or phone ahead when you do a make-up.
Fall Quarter Prices:
The prices are based on 12 lessons in a quarter.
If we schedule fewer than 12 lessons in the quarter than the price
will be adjusted. Persons marked in
orange are registered and paid for the
Fall session.
