At Clean Sweep Farm, we have an extensive lesson program to fit the needs of riders of all ages and at all skill levels. At the foundation of our program is our lesson horses.

Here's a look at lesson program levels and the associated confidence-building tasks: Mounting and dismounting; holding the reins properly; two-point at the walk and trot; posting; steering; voice commands; basic control; spacing in the arena; basic terms (inside hand, outside hand, halt); steering through cones at the walk; reversing; positioning of stirrups; drop and pick up stirrups at walk; correct cornering; starting and stopping the horse.
