Our Summer Riding Program at Flight & Fortune Equestrian is designed for riders of all levels who want to spend meaningful time in the saddle while building confidence, skill, and horsemanship.
Each day combines mounted instruction with hands-on experience in horse care, grooming, and groundwork, giving riders a well-rounded understanding of life in the barn.
With a maximum of six riders per session, we’re able to provide individualized attention in a supportive, small-group environment where every rider can progress at their own pace. While the days are fun and engaging, the program is thoughtfully structured to keep riders learning, active, and involved throughout.
