That’s okay! Some of our Club-sanctioned instructors have lesson horses available. Our instructors can also help you to find a horse for lease or purchase if this is of interest.

Beginners are always welcome! As well, many of the surrounding stables and barns in Southlands have riding rings on their property; these are often where riders are introduced to the sport. Once riders have gained the basics of the sport, they may wish to take advantage of the wonderful facilities the Club offers - either on their own or with one of our Club Instructors.

Yes. The Club is happy to help you get off to the right start! Most of our Club instructors offer introductory and beginner-level lessons on suitable horses/ponies at smaller barns around the community. Those with lesson horses (as marked with ** on the list) will teach beginners.

Instruction is available at the Club from our certified professional trainers specializing in dressage, hunter, jumper, equitation and eventing. Each instructor coordinates their own lessons.

Your instructor - whether at the Club or off-site - will provide you with guidance on what equipment is mandatory for your lessons. For most, this will include an approved riding helmet and boots with a heel. Just minutes from the Club you’ll find Greenhawk Vancouver with a huge selection of equestrian products and essentials at the most competitive prices around!
