At
Mahantango Acres, we know that every horse and rider are different and
therefore, learn and develop at different levels. We are committed to
working with the individual at a pace that is comfortable to them.
Instruction is available in various disciplines including Hunt Seat
Equitation, Dressage and Western. All levels of instruction are offered
from Beginners to Advanced. We welcome children and adults as well as
horses at every level. |
