Yes. The City allows us to offer riding instruction to members on our site. However, the SCPA itself does not offer riding instruction. Instead, it has granted certain members the privilege of teaching riding and horsemanship to other members. Currently, 9 trainers have been granted training privileges.

Possibly. While you are not required to ride with a particular trainer, or any trainer for that matter, and because we are limited in the number of persons we can admit as regular riders, we have also imposed a cap on the number of students any one trainer may teach. This cap may mean your preferred trainer may not be able to accept you as a student until they have an opening. However, you are always free to take lessons from any trainer who has not reached their cap.

No. The fee charged by a trainer for his or her services is between you and the trainer. SCPA does not receive any portion of the fees charged by your trainer.

No. Some riders never take lessons, some occasionally take lessons and some only ride when taking a lesson. But you are always free to ride on your own whenever you wish if you are a full access rider.

Lessons are generally available based on your trainer's schedule, weather and ring conditions, scheduled ring use, and compliance with current SCPA rules. If your trainer is unavailable, an approved assistant trainer may be available.

No, SCPA does not have any horses of its own. If you do not own a horse, some trainers have school horses you can use for lessons. You must arrange lessons on school horses with your trainer.

No, SCPA does not have any stables. There are a limited number of stalls on private properties in the Sullivan Canyon community that are available to rent. You will need to enter into a stall agreement with the property owner.
