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 Saturdays.
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. Other
times available through the office. 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 is all the fun of owning
your own horse without the expense and responsibility.
Students practice their riding skills and even compete in horse
shows if they like. 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.
SOME RULES: *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. *No
jumping without prior instructor permission. *Leasers
must be enrolled in weekly riding lessons at Urbana Riding Club. *Urbana
Riding Club trails only *Instructor
approval is necessary to lease.
*Leaser must be at least 10 years of age. *Never ride alone
*No riding in the indoor arena during lessons without
instructor approval. *No jumping cross country.
Costs:
Urbana Riding Club costs are based on the program that best
suits your needs. Payments are made quarterly (three
months) and are due 15 days prior to the beginning of the program in
order to assure your spot. You may begin lessons at any time
as we can prorate the first payment. The full day summer

Quarter Lesson Registration
needs to be paid by Nov 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

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

avoid over-crowded lessons and confused staff (we’re easily
confused)! Winter Quarter

discretion.

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.
