DERS Halter Club

A Small Group program for Beginner Riders ages 8-15yrs.

Halter Club is a progressive program which focuses on the practical skills and knowledge necessary for riders to earn Level 1 certification through the CHA (Certified Horsemanship Association). Students entering this program demonstrate basic control of their horse at the walk. Young equestrians will learn to properly groom and tack their assigned mounts, and will each take part in a group riding lesson. After mastering independent steering and control at the walk (while maintaining proper riding position), riders will turn their attention to the trot. This program aims for students to attain safe control of their horse at the trot through basic ring figures.

Twice per year, students will have the opportunity to participate in our CHA Level Testing Horse Show. This fun process includes a written test, and a riding test in front of a CHA-certified judge. The written exam must be passed with a score of 80, and students attaining a riding score over 90 may move into Saddle Club or Group Lessons.
