At Cavallo Stables, LLC, riders age three and up will learn proper horsemanship and safety as they improve their riding skills with our lesson horses. At the same time, each rider will learn to take charge and be a leader, which is necessary when working with horses. We feel that taking consistent riding lessons builds confidence, strength and skills. Our Lesson Program is a subscription-based program. Each rider is required to take at least one lesson per week. Due to having an extremely long waitlist, we have restructured our program to accommodate more riders and ensure that our riders are committed to our program. All lesson slots are specifically reserved for each rider in our program. We take the time that we spend with you very seriously and we are hoping that you too will make your training a priority.
If you are unable to attend your weekly reserved lesson time, we will do our very best to create a riding time for you, however, our program is very full for both our instructors and our horses, a make-up is not guaranteed and make-ups cannot be pushed into the following month. In the event Cavallo Stables cancels lessons for any reason, including weather, emergencies, horse shows, holidays, vacations, etc. we will do our very best to provide a make-up lesson or an off the horse lesson at the barn, but we cannot guarantee replacement lessons for every canceled lesson. Each client will be paying for a minimum of 4 lessons each month. However, there is an extra week every two to three months where you will receive a free lesson. If you are taking two or more lessons per week, your number of free lessons increases. We hope that this set up will alleviate some of the stress of make-ups.

Our Lesson Program is essentially developing riders who can transition into our competitive show team program that is operated by Cavallo Stables’ owner and trainer, Sami Milo. For our Training Program, riders are required to own or lease a horse of their own. These riders typically ride 4-5 days per week and compete in local and out of state horse shows. The current cost for our Training Program is $1,450 a month which includes training and care for the horse. Sami is a USEF Certified Judge, a USHJA Certified Trainer and a Clinician.
