If you are looking to start riding or fine-tune your skills, HHF is the perfect place for you. We have a wide range of horses and ponies to suit every rider’s needs and our instructors will find you a perfect match. In our opinion, you are never too young or too old to reap the benefits riding has to offer.

We aim to create safe, effective and well-rounded riders which is why students are expected to come half an hour early to prepare their horse for the lesson, and stay half an hour after their ride to care for their horse. Lessons take place year-round in our spacious indoor arena and in nice weather, outside in our sandring. Spectators can watch the lesson in the comfort of our heated viewing room. To ensure the safety of our equipment, we provide helmets free of charge for the first month of riding. After this time period, a $2 per lesson fee applies.

Group lessons are $30.00 each and private lessons are $40.00 pay-as-you-go.

Contact us for further information and to arrange a time to come see a lesson in progress.

TESTIMONIAL: "Hangar Haven Farm's summer camp program has been my daughter's favourite part of summer for the past 6 years. She had so much fun at her first summer camp, weekly riding lessons at HHF had to be added to her list of activities. As a parent, safety is the number one priority and it is evident that safety is also the most important aspect taught at HHF, for not only the riders but for the horses too. My daughter has developed a love and respect for horses from all of her time spent at Hangar Haven Farm, and thus has become a very good rider!"

TESTIMONIAL: "My daughter has been taking horseback riding lessons for six years. She has been attending Hangar Haven Farm for lessons and summer camps for the last two years. Prior to joining Hangar Haven Farm, she was only able to walk and trot a horse. She was not overly confident in her abilities and she was somewhat hesitant to ‘push herself’ for fear that the horse may not do what she wanted it to do. When she joined HHF, she lacked confidence in herself and how to ride. My daughter was diagnosed as learning disabled when she was eight years old. We tried to get her involved in sports and extra circular activities in order to build her self esteem. But with every new activity, we found that she was frustrated and lacked confidence because she needed the extra instruction and assistance. Most programs do not cater to this type of child. HHF met her needs then and they continue to do so today. The girl who joined HHF two years ago is not the girl I have today. Kim, Ray and Alexa exemplify what teaching and learning is all about. Through their caring ways and making each child feel special and more importantly confident in his/her abilities, they have helped my daughter believe in herself and truly be the best she can be – every day. Is she more confident today than she was two years ago – absolutely! Can she ride – truly ride a horse – absolutely! I am very proud to say that she competed in her first horse show in the fall of 2008. Kim and Ray worked with her, helped her understand what she was required to do and they were there to see her succeed. My daughter placed second for both Dressage and Turnout for her High School Riding Team. If you are a parent of child with a learning disability, you know that we just want our children to be treated the same as everyone else, and more importantly we just want to see our children succeed. HHF has helped my daughter believe in herself and her abilities as an individual. My daughter no longer says: “I can’t”. She now says: “I can” and she does this because she now has the self confidence to do so. Thanks to Kim, Ray and Alexa, she has pushed herself to her limits and succeeded!"
