Dunham Woods Farm

Lesson Program

Backed by years of tremendous achievements both in and out of the show ring, Dunham Woods Farms’ method is proven and translates to success for our students. We are available to meet with our students and clients to establish and discuss both short and long term goals. We provide a variety of safe, proven school horses and ponies for our lesson students to learn on.

DWF’s skilled and professional staff strives to provide a safe and supportive learning environment for both horse and riders.

We offer private, semi-private and group riding lessons for students ages 9 & over. We have lessons for adults too! For our young riders aged 8 & older we offer private lead line lessons. All students are to have ASTM approved helmets, riding boots and long pants in order to ride. We do not have riding apparel and safety headwear for public use.

Sorry, we do not offer trail rides or horse rentals.

Please call or email us for lesson pricing information.

For those clients interested in a horse/pony purchase, we assist with the selection process
and help to identify the specific qualities which
are in alignment with the riders individual needs and objectives.

Additional Activities Offered

Dunham Woods Farms offers several clinics throughout the year that focus on the care or horses, equipment and more. We believe that a well rounded horseman should not only be confident and well-trained on horseback, but on the ground as well.

In addition to riding and grooming clinics, DWF also offers several seasonal horsemanship camps during winter, spring and summer school breaks. Appropriate for the beginning rider or the student looking to expand their horsemanship knowledge! Join in the fun!

Dunham Woods offers 3 school shows throughout the year for our riding school riders. It is a great and fun learning tool! There are classes for all levels and ages of rider.

We have several students whose parents have joined in the fun at Dunham Woods Farms! We have daytime and after work lesson slots available. Make some new friends and have a blast in the saddle!

Horsemanship for Beginners

Dunham Woods has taught hundreds to ride horses over the last 50+ years. We believe that the importance of laying a solid foundation of horse care is essential to the growth and progression as an equestrian and rider.


Working Student/Volunteer Program

Dunham Woods offers those who consistently take lessons with us, the opportunity to become a volunteer working student. It’s a great way to gain knowledge and grow as a horseman, as well as learn about the responsibilities of being on and around the farm.
See an instructor for details. Time volunteered can sometimes count towards National Honors Society and other organizational service hours.
