Karma offers English and Western riding lessons. She offers lessons to riders of all levels from beginner adults and children to competitive show riders.   Gentle school horses are available to students who do not have their own horse. She provides a safe and fun learning environment. Lessons are a step-by-step learning process customized to the riders individual goals.

She is dedicated to teaching and provides riders with the methods to improve communication with their equine partner. Lessons are offered year-round in our covered arena.

Karma works closely with each student to ensure that the lesson plan supports individual objectives. An encouraging environment makes each lesson a positive experience.
