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.
Lessons last approx 45 mins. We have 2 levels of riders with a different lesson structure for each.
Beginner rider lessons include tacking up, warming up and a cool down with your instructor. The emphasis 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.
Lessons are available on an ongoing basis. Generally a student will take on lesson per week. Students can opt to take two lessons per week if interested. Lessons are booked at the same time every week and can reschedule when needed.
Lessons are purchased in blocks of four. 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.
Lessons are available in the following disciplines:
- Hunter/Jumper
- Dressage
- Western
What you’ll need
* Helmet (some sizes available at stable)
* Boots with heel (rain boots, hiking boots are suitable)

- Semi – Private (2 ppl) – $40 + HST(per person)

Semi – private lessons can be booked with someone you know or you can request a booking from Alicia. Bookings for semi – private lessons can only be booked when there is someone of the same level of riding available. Any students not able to tack up on their own must be in a private lesson or semi-private lesson until such time as they are able to tack up.

$50 + HST – Anywhere in the Lower Mainland
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?
Karina Lannard
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

Sorry for the late response. We were booked full :)
Hi,
My son is 2 and a half, we are interested in buying the dealfind, would he be old enough?
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 :(
I am interested in the Groupon posted today for my 6 year old daughter. Is she old enough and when are classes offered?
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:)
Hey Brandi!
Each person is required to purchase a voucher. We can’t share them sorry :(
Hi, I found the “Talk about this deal” section on dealfind and see that your classes are for 6 years and up. No need to reply. Thanks! :-)
Hi, I have 2 daughters who are 3 and 4 1/2 – would either of them be old enough to take the lessons offered through dealfind? If so, could you let me know what days and times the lessons are available, and when the coupons expire?
Thank you
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.
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 :)
hi, i just bought dealfind vouchers for my two boys. they are 7 and 10 years old. I read that 10 and under can only go for private lessons, is it still the case? If not, how many similar age kids can you take at one lesson time? I know a few other 10-year-old school friends also bought and they like to come together if workable.
please reply. thanks.
That is only a requirement of the regular clients, because you have a voucher you can ride in a group (max of 3) in the group.
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.
Can the deal on Wagjag be used for 2 children? or do they each need their own voucher?
They each need their own voucher
I am interested in signing my 13 year old daughter up for riding lessons. Is she too old? She doesn’t have that much experience though. Oh and its 45 dollars a lesson for a group lesson right? And usually, how long do people take lessons for? Thanks Alicia!
:) -Mary
can you email me the dates available for sundays for my 6 year old son? thanks!
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.

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.
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.
Hi Alicia,
I sent you e-mail to make reservation with my vouchers 9 days ago, and i still looking forward your reply. Thx.
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.
