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. 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. 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 in our lesson program 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, but not limited to, weather, emergencies, horse shows, holidays, vacations, etc. we will do our very best to provide a make-up lesson, but we cannot guarantee replacement lessons for every canceled lesson. On rain days, either a lesson in our small covered arena or an “off the horse” lesson will be provided. 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 operated by professional equestrian, Jaymi Garrett. Jaymi brings a lot of knowledge, experience and enthusiasm to our team. She is gifted with a kind teaching technique and is dedicated to ensuring that each rider grows as an equestrian athlete, learns proper equitation and accomplishes their goals. Jaymi has been with Cavallo Stables for over ten years. Assisting her with the program are professionals Bailey Marvin and Bree Corbin.
Our Lesson Program is essentially developing riders who can transition into our competitive show team, known as our Training 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 3-5 days per week and compete in local and out of state horse shows. The current cost for our Training Program is $1,875 a month which includes training, board and care for the horse. Sami is currently a USEF Certified Judge, a USHJA Certified Trainer and a Clinician. Assisting Sami with the program is Patty Ball of Hunterville. Both trainers have over 80 years of experience and success in hunters, jumpers and equitation. Their resumes are long and impressive with their own riding
accomplishments as well as their students
