davis_squarei have two openings for more riding students! my barn is about fifteen miles north of somerville in north reading, but i can offer transportation from davis square, since that's where i live myself :) we can take one person (any level) at a time in a private lesson, or we could do a double lesson (two people riding together) if one of the people already has a little bit of horse experience. times are fairly negotiable, except that fridays are right out. if you're coming from somerville with me, you should plan on about three hours per lesson including transportation.
my horses are icelandic, which means they they have an additional fast, smooth "soft" gait called the tölt as well as the american-typical walk, trot, and canter. we teach total beginners (including scared beginners) through beginning eventing, and are located right next to the harold parker state forest for trail riding. i'm a massachusetts-licensed instructor, and also a certified instructor at level 1 of centered riding. (centered riding is a mental and physical approach to how to ride that applies across disciplines, so it works for english, western, dressage, jumping, icelandics, everything on a horse :)
ETA (thanks ron!) here is pricing info: the barn charges $25 per rider per lesson (that's for their insurance and the use of their facility.) additionally, i charge $40 for a single rider, $50 for two (the double-lesson pricing is a special i'm running for this summer, usually it's just $40 per rider). transportation's free since i have to get myself there anyway :)
