VPH&T is proud to team up with Stillwater Farm SOMD and is now offering lessons at their amazing facility located in Huntingtown, MD. We offer both group and private lessons in a variety of disciplines including; hunter/jumper, barrel racing, trail riding, basic dressage, pleasure riding, and mounted archery. Lessons are currently offered Monday-Friday with weekends on occasion subject to holidays and show season. We are an active show barn full of competitive riders so weekends are often booked with shows, races, and events. Our goal is make competent horsemen and women who will help shape the future of the equestrian sport while teaching horsemanship and riding.
There are four lessons a month with more available if the student wishes. We have a very flexible schedule to accommodate both after school and work programs as well as home school situations. Training packages are determined by rider if they wish to have multiple group or private lessons that month, feel free to mix and match! We recommend new riders starting off with a few private lessons before moving onto group lessons.
We have many horses available for use during lessons for all ages and levels but welcome students to bring their own horses as well to lesson on (subject to a use of facility fee).
