Owner, Lisa Abernathy, or Associate Trainer, Jenny O'Handly will provide quality instruction for beginner through advanced riders in English and Western, or on Gaited Horses.

Abernathy Farm's lessons are geared toward preparing you for horse ownership. We will teach you how to safely catch, groom, and tack up your horse, in addition to the fundamentals of riding. Abernathy Farm offers adult and youth lessons for ages age 5 and up. Private or Group lessons can also be scheduled. Group lessons consist of 2 or more riders. This is perfect for siblings or parents and children who want to learn how to ride together.

English lessons are available in Huntseat, Dressage, or Jumping. Lesson horses consist of seasoned show horses that have qualified at the State and Regional Levels. These horse are available for lease or showing opportunities.

Western lessons can be geared toward the casual rider who would like to learn to navigate trail obstacles and even how to cross deep water! Abernathy Farm also offers instruction for the serious competitor who would like to show Western Pleasure though Rodeo speed events.

We teach riders how to become horseman and work on all areas of horsemanship. You will learn parts of the saddle and the anatomy of the horse, and the day to day care of owning a horse. Students will learn every thing from flyspray to bathing to hoof care. The goal of this is to teach riders how to successfully care for their own horse and make sure they are receiving the best care.

We also offer ground work and round penning lessons. This is helpful for people who may already own their own horse, but need help building a respectful relationship with them. Abernathy Farm can help you retrain horses that are disrespectful, pushy on the ground, walk off while mounting, that are difficult to trailer load, clip, bathe, or de-worm. I will teach you how to effectively communicate with your horse in a consistent manner which will achieve results. I use principles from both Natural and Classical horsemanship.
