Lessons offered at Hylee Training are by certified coaches/instructors on well trained lesson horses. Visit our about us page for more information on the Hylee team.
Riding lessons are purchased in blocks of four, there are students generally come at the same time every week however, some students come bi-weekly. Lessons are invoiced at the beginning of the month to hold that spot for the rider.
Lesson Rates are as follows:
- 45 + GST for private lessons
- 40 + GST for semi private lessons per person
- 35 + GST for group lesson per person.
Private lessons are approx 45 mins of the instructors time. Students that are under 8 must ride in a private lesson. Children who are unable to tack and untack on their own will use their lesson time to learn proper grooming and tacking up procedures. Once they are able to get ready on their own they can arrive early to do such.The emphasis in these lessons is on the safety and learning basic skills to walk, trot and canter your horse effectively, safely and correctly. Beginner riders may spend sometime working on the lunge to effectively balance without need to control the horse.
Advanced / Intermediate rider lessons include 45 mins of working. Students are expected to be tacked up and warmed up so the 45 mins is used effectively. This group of riders are working on specific goals with the horse they are working with and are generally showing or leasing or interested in either.
If a lesson is missed with 24 hour notice then a make up lesson can be rescheduled within 30 days. If a lesson is missed without notice the lesson is forfeited.

- Hunter/Jumper

Hello,
My name is Jennifer Besso, I am a 25 year old, enthusiastic, fast learner with great potential to become a professional rider. My goal is to be a successful jumper, I want to take a combination of hunter/jumper and dressage lessons.
I started riding at the age of five, aside from summer riding and galloping wildly I never had the opportunity to be trained professionally. I really want to start riding can you please send me an email with the lessons offered and the cost of training.
Thanks
Jennifer
Hey Alicia
I was there last Saturday and used my 2 group for me and my sister. I was wondering if I could purchase another 4 group on groupon just for me to do the 4 lessons?
Thanks. You could email me if its easier.
Sent you an email:)
Hello, I’ve been riding for roughly 15 years, jumping mostly. I am looking for some advanced lessons that would help me with my jumping and maybe eventually lease or going to some local shows. Let me know and maybe we could find a time to meet and talk some more.
Thank you!!
Sent you an email.
Hello, I’m looking for lessons an advanced lesson horse as I just recently sold my own. I have been riding for almost 8 years. Do you have any lesson horses available that jump up to 2’9 or 3′? And also do any of your lesson students ever take your horses to local shows like thunderbird or MREC?
Thank you so much.
Hey Celina,
I’ll send you an email.
Hi there
I would like to set up a time to chat about lessons for myself. I am looking to get back into riding. It had been about 16 years. Thanks a bunch.
Hey Amy,
I’ll send you a quick email.
My 6 year old daughter wants to take horseback riding lessons. I would like to give her a package of 6 lessons in the spring. How do I do that?
Hey Leah, Just send me an email, I’ll create you an invoice and send me a cheq and we can get her scheduled. alicia@hyleetraining.com
Hi, I would like to come and see your facility and discuss the lessons/times available. I havent riden for over 30years.
Hey Annabel,
I’ll send you an email and we can set up a time.
Hi,
I would like to go riding with my family (husband and two kids over 6) for an hour or two through trails. Do you have provide this service or package deals for this type scenario? I’m not sure what your lesson would include? Little experience for the adults and no experience for the children.
Thanks.
Our lessons are in the arena only, its important when you are first learning to ride to be in an enclosed area. Therefore, we do not offer trail rides to beginners in this type of scenario , Sorry:(
I am an adult with a great deal of horsmanship experience in a previous life (child/youth/young adult). I am interested in taking some lessons to shake off the rust before considering a possible lease arrangement. I’ve seen the Groupon deal and am considering the 4 lesson package. However, I need to ensure I will be able to take them in the evening or on a weekend as I work during the weekdays. I checked your website but times are not provided.
Thank you.
Hey Linda,
If you use the GroupOn during the week night or weekend that’s fine. If you want to check out schedule, you can use the book online button to preview it.http://www.hyleetraining.com/contact-us/booking-online/. I’ll be adding more of the “Non Private” lessons shortly.
Hi.
We’d like to know some information about riding lessons. We are going to Vancouver in July and we are staying here for the whole month. We are interested in show jumping. We have been going in for this kind of sport for 2 years. What lessons can you offer? What is the price?
Thank you.
Hey Olga,
Our prices are above and I’m not quite sure what you mean by what type of lessons. We do offer H/J lessons if that is what you are referring to.
Hi! Just wondering if your prices are per lesson or per set of four?
Thanks. :)
Hey Ashley,
Lessons prices are per lesson.
Hi Judy,
Please visit our online booking page to reserve your appointment.
I didn’t receive your email. I will send you one right now – now that I have your email address
My dad is willing to let me take lessons, the thing is ,is that i’m 14 am i too old to take lessons at this age?
You never are too old to start riding lessons.
I have a quick question. You say you offer both hunter/jumper lessons and dressage lessons. I’m not quite sure which discipline I want to persue yet – If I had once-a-week lessons, would I be able to alternate between dressage and jumping lessons? Thanks!
Most definitely.If your end goal is to be a successful jumper, you will need dressage lessons none the less. So a combination of both really works well.
Hello,
I don’t have a helmet or boots like you’ve described. Is it still possible to use my voucher for a lesson? And how much in advance do I need to book a lesson? I would like to come mid-January if weather and road conditions permit.
Thanks
Hey Carolyn,
A helmet is not required as we provide those. Boots are required though. I would suggest heading to Walmart and pick up a pair of rubber boots with a 1″ heel. They run you about 10$. We cannot allow people without boots with a heel to ride.Lessons must be booked at least 1 week in advance.
Marjorie,
Please feel free to book online if you have a voucher. If you are looking for a regular spot, please email me at alicia@hyleetraining.com to schedule.
Hi! Is there such thing as kids that are around 12-13 to help the trainers out with the younger kids? Kind of like volunteering? Thanks!
They can help with chores but they generally do not help with the lessons.
Hi, I know 6 years old is the minimum for the lesson, but can my 4 year old girl ride with the coach. I have one girl 7 years old and I want to bring my younger daughter to have this experience too!
Hi Connie,
Unfortunately at this time, we are only able to work with kids 6 and up. Sorry :)
Sorry they are both too young.. Six years old is our minimum. So feel free to gives a call in a few years when they are older :) And the coupons do not have an expiry.
Thanks for your inquiry Gloria! Six years old is old enough. Classes are offered 7 days a week. Once you purchase your voucher you then use our online booking system to choose an appointment for yourself.
Hi there, i am looking at buying the ‘DEALFIND’ .. for the two lessons .. now would that be suitable for 2 people to go for one lesson at the same time? . or is it made for 1 person to use on 2 seperate occasions. im inquiring because i thought it would be interesting for me and my boyfreind to try.
thanks:)
Thank you for your inquiry, in the past we have taken this age group. However, learning from past experiences we have learned that it is not the best policy. So at this time no. Sorry :(

Hi Karina,
Generally beginner lessons are on the lunge line except when steering is the lesson being taught. If you have never ridden a horse before you begin on the lunge line once you are able to control the horse you are off the lunge line. So the answer to your question would depend on your level of riding.
Students do not choose which horse they will be riding Instructors choose the horse which is most suitable for them to ride. Choices are made based on size of rider, what level their riding is and personality of both rider and horse.
Yes, lessons are available every second week.
Thanks, Alicia
Hi,
Would you be able to give lessons every second week? My other question is are beginner lessons on lead or off? Do you get to choose the available school horses to ride if more than one is available?
