Spicewood Farms Lesson Program

Spicewood Farms offers horseback riding lessons for children and adults with a primary focus on Eventing, Dressage, and Jumpers.  Some western lessons are also available. Our lesson program can be customized for your needs, whether you are interested in riding competitively or for pleasure! Additionally, we offer summer camp, leasing and opportunities to participate in horse shows.

Due to popular demand, our beginner lessons in particular are frequently full.  Please call 512-342-9393 or email Shari at sharon.wilcox@gmail.com for availability.

Spicewood Farms does not do guided trail rides or "rent" horses.  We offer lessons on a regular weekly schedule tailored to the experience levels and interests of our clients.  Additionally, we do not start children in lessons before the age of seven. 

All riders are required to wear long pants (or chaps) and a boot with a hard sole and a heel to ride.  Helmets are required, and Spicewood Farms maintains a selection of helmets in a range of sizes if you need to borrow one.

 

Spicewood Farms’ lesson program has recently been featured in the Austin American-Statesman, Riding Instructor Magazine, The Horse Gazette and Austin’s Fox 7 News. 

From Riding Instructor Magazine:

“Shari is passionate about her lessons, instilling a love of horses and riding through her positive, supportive teaching style.  She keeps her lesson sizes small, attending to the needs and interests of her students.  Her lessons emphasize sportsmanship and proper conduct, including every student as a member of the stable’s 'team.'  Shari is adored by her students for her kind, fun, and constructive teaching.”
