Lessons & Clinics
Build skills, strengthen partnerships, and take the next step in your horsemanship journey.
Weekly Riding Lessons
At Foundations, we’re proud to partner with the Lethbridge Therapeutic Riding Association (LTRA) to make horsemanship lessons accessible to riders of all abilities. Taught by Jay Skoog, Certified Horsemanship Association (CHA) instructor, these programs combine the best of equine-facilitated wellness with structured, skill-building horsemanship education.
Whether you’re just beginning your riding journey or looking to refine your skills, lessons follow a clear CHA format to ensure progression, safety, and confidence at every level. Many of our students start as beginners, but the program is designed to support riders as they grow — offering pathways from foundational horsemanship through more advanced skills.
Through this partnership, lessons remain inclusive, affordable, and community-focused, while still providing the professionalism, structure, and individual attention every rider deserves.
