Riding Lessons

     Lesson Rates

​Our lesson program is designed to be intimate, one on one, relaxed and fun - focusing on the total horsemanship experience.  Learning is comprised of riding, performing horse care, and gaining understanding, compassion and developing good communication with the horse in order to recognize the how's and why's horses act and react the way they do.  Riding and horsemanship is a definitive cause and effect process.

At Opava Eventing, the focus is on the function of riding over the "form", when a rider understands how they influence a horse's movement, and ride to produce that correctly, the rider will inherently be in the correct "form".
