Horseback Riding Lessons at Brookhill Farm

At Brookhill Farm, we offer exceptional horseback riding lessons for riders of all ages and skill levels. Our program includes hunter/jumper, equitation, and dressage disciplines, providing a well-rounded riding experience for every equestrian enthusiast. We are also proud to host the distinguished University of Virginia (UVA) Dressage Team, reflecting our commitment to excellence in equestrian training and education.

Programs & Disciplines

We specialize in hunters, show jumpers, and equitation, while also hosting the UVA dressage team. This unique combination gives riders the opportunity to explore multiple disciplines within a single, cohesive program.

Instructors & Teaching Approach

Our dedicated team of five experienced instructors is passionate about teaching and sharing their love for horses. They guide riders from beginners to advanced levels, ensuring personalized attention and a supportive learning environment.

Lessons for Children (Ages 6+)

We offer lessons for children starting at age 6, based on physical and mental readiness. Children benefit from:

  • Increased confidence, discipline, and focus that carry into the classroom

  • Opportunities to make friends

  • Chances to showcase skills at events and competitions

Lessons for Adults

Many adults rediscover their passion for horses after their children leave home. Our lessons offer a fulfilling way to de-stress and enjoy “me time,” whether you’re starting fresh or getting back in the saddle.

Lesson Format: Small Groups (4–6 Riders)

We emphasize group lessons with about 4 to 6 riders, creating an encouraging atmosphere where participants support one another regardless of age or experience—while still receiving personalized instruction.
