Double saddle lessons start early
Sarah Tompkins' daughter, Salay, with Kristen Smith
Zubrod Stables offers Saddle Seat riding lessons for all ages and experience levels. Inexperienced riders begin with private, 30-minute lessons learning to control their horse and the correct body position at the walk, trot and canter.
We also offer double-saddle lessons. This offers the younger riders a chance to learn while riding with one of our instructors. This also allows riders to advance more quickly and offers more timid riders the extra confidence they need.
As riders advance, they may ride in a group lesson with other riders at their same level. Our advanced lessons focus on the fine points of performance and equitation.Supplies, jodhpur pants and boots can be purchased at many places in the Louisville area or online, including

- Lessons are taught Monday - Friday from about 2pm - 6pm. Saturday lessons are for show horse lessons.
- Please arrive 10 minutes prior to the start of your lesson, this way your horse can be bridled and ready for you to mount and begin your lesson on time. If you are running late, please call and let us know. If you need to cancel your lesson, please do so 24-hours in advance. If you fail to cancel your lesson, you must pay for the lesson.
