We work with all levels of experience. We will initially start out with safety and care of the horses. We will then teach the riders to take a horse out in a halter, turn it out, and lunge them. Then we will teach grooming and hoof care. After that, we move up to tacking them up (teach the rider how to put on a bridle and a saddle). Next we teach the basic riding skills: walking and trotting.

Do you want to learn about horses and their behavior? Are you a new horse owner? Or have you just purchased or adopted a horse and are struggling to cope? If the answer to any of the above questions is Yes, then Canham Farm Horse Rescue can help. Our Horsemanship Program is a hands-on class for children (over 12) and adults, who either have little or no experience with horses, want to hone their horsemanship skills or develop a better relationship with their horse.

Our lessons are provided in both English and Western styles. We recommend that all students begin with Western style lessons; they may switch to English riding when the instructor deems them ready. All of our instructors are CHA-Certified, therefore trained in safety management, as well as teaching techniques.
