Lessons & Riding Memberships

At PSE, we are just as invested in your horsemanship journey as you are.

Lessons

Whether your passion lies in competitive rodeo events or you simply enjoy a quiet ride through the trails, we tailor each lesson to your individual goals.

We offer lesson horses for riders of all levels, and our aim is to build confident, capable, and knowledgeable riders in a safe and supportive environment. Our program emphasizes both the care of our equine partners and the continued development of each rider’s skills.

Horseback riding supports mental health, builds confidence, and offers fantastic physical exercise. Horses are sensitive, intuitive animals—making them incredible teachers and partners. Whether you’re a beginner just getting started or an experienced rider looking to sharpen your skills, Painted Star Equestrian can provide a customized program designed for your success.

​

Our Curriculum

Our comprehensive curriculum goes beyond riding—it includes horsemanship, horse care, and equine knowledge. We use a structured benchmark system that clearly outlines both mounted and unmounted milestones. This approach helps students make steady progress and stay motivated with clear goals. Riders are encouraged to test quarterly and receive awards for passing levels, recognizing their hard work and achievements.

"Shannen runs an amazing program. The students learn all aspect of horsemanship from ground work to competitive riding if that's their goal. The horses are all healthy and in tip top shape. Over the two yrs my granddaughter has been in the program she has become a confidant rider and has started competitive events on her own pony. She is skilled, balanced and just overall enjoying the program. I highly recommend this program."

"We first started going to Painted Star Equestrian because we heard how amazing their summer camps are and we were not disappointed. Both of my daughters (age 8 and 10) had such an amazing time. My older daughter has continued with lessons and everyone of her instructors have been so encouraging. She loves it here :)"

"My daughter has been riding at PSE with Shannen for about a year. I love that from day 1 the kids are in charge of taking care of their assigned horse. Shannen and team strike an excellent balance of teaching but allowing the kids to try first themselves. My daughter has loved every single lesson. My daughter started having just ridden a few times and has grown so much. Shes comfortable, happy and confident. PSE is always having events and different program that enrich the experience."
