Riding Lessons

Riding lessons are the center piece of the services offered at Gusty Wind Acres Riding School. Lesson have been offered on this premises since 1969. Over the years the facility has grown and modernized. The barn originally had 4 stalls and was located in Salem Township, Pennsylvania (30 miles east of Pittsburgh, PA). Today the facility has expanded to include 34 stalls, 3 outdoor arenas (including 1 large jumping ring and a full size Dressage ring), a large indoor arena. We also have an indoor arena and over 100 acres of land.

The riding lessons are designed for students who are beginners all the way up through advanced riders. Dressage, Hunter and Eventing are taught. School horses are available and students who own horses are encouraged to take lessons on their own horses. The lessons are systematic with the instructor insuring that the students have mastered the basic concepts before proceeding to more advanced skills. Safety is emphasized. All riders are required to wear approved riding helmets and safe footwear. In addition The school horses are well trained and the instructors are conservative. However none of that slows down the fun. We all enjoy participating in horse shows, camps, barn, and trail rides. In addition if a student decides to buy a horse the instructors are willing to help the student choose an appropriate horse. The students can board the new horse at the facility or bring in horses of their own.

So give us a call or drop us an email if you are interested in joining in on the riding fun at Gusty Wind Acres Riding School! Gift certificates are also available.
