Lesson Program
Western Equestrian Club currently offers lessons for Dressage, Hunter/Jumper, and Western riding. The lesson program is a great way to keep up with your riding while away at school, or learn to ride! We accept riders of all levels, from beginners to seasoned show veterans! You do not need previous horse experience to join the program, and you do not need your own horse (or car!). The lesson program is a great way to meet other club members and be involved in the London equestrian community!
Our fall session is full! We will reopen a new session in January.
**Lessons are subject to having enough drivers! If we do not have enough you may not be placed into a lesson or your group will have to split the cost of a cab or uber.**
You must have a current OE (Ontario Equestrian) membership to participate in lessons!
