riding lessons & training

Are you looking for horseback riding lessons but don’t know where to begin?

Whether you’re looking to improve your riding position, enhance your relationship with your horse, learn a new skillset, want to head down the competitive international (FEI) pipeline, compete locally for fun, or just want to safely ride your horse with eyes on the ground –
all riders and horses are welcome at Paradox Farm.

If you want a coach who is in your corner, cares about you and your horse (both mentally and physically), and leaves no stone unturned – then you’ve come to the right place. Regardless of your competitive goals (or lack-thereof), Mallory is a committed coach, dedicated to helping you on your Equestrian journey, and passionate about getting the best out of every horse and rider. At Paradox Farm, we understand how overwhelming the horse world can be. So much work has to be done before riders are even able to get in the saddle. From nutrition, to saddle fit, to veterinary needs, Mallory works with riders to make sure they have ALL bases covered, so they are training a happy horse with no underlying issues.

She has an innate ability of reading riders and horse’s personalities, quickly clocking their preferred (or needed) style of learning, and will push you as hard or as slow as you need. No two riders experiences are the same; Mallory will work with you to determine your end goals and will put together a specialized training plan to help you achieve your dreams.

Mallory is available for haul-in lessons at Paradox Farm, Monday through Friday, and is also available for coaching at XC schooling’s and shows (see our Calendar page). We also have two lesson horses available for those without their own horse (riders must have own helmet.)

Lesson Guidelines

• Riders are to be mounted and warming up by their scheduled lesson time.
• Lessons will run for scheduled time slot and if riders are late, lesson will not run into the next slot.
• Mallory can be available on a limited basis to come to you, but there will be an additional driving fee incurred.
• All riders must have approved (closed toe with heel) footwear, an ASTM/SEI certified riding helmet, and a signed liability release on file in order to take lessons.
