If you have a child that adores horses or wants a challenging sport to participate in, consider Van Doren Show Jumping and Hunters. We are one of the best horse training and equestrian lesson schools in Tennessee, and it gives us pleasure to share our knowledge about show jumping. We are dedicated to providing a top-notch education for individuals who love a challenge and have the trust in their abilities that it takes to learn proper horsemanship.
Part of training is basic riding, horsemanship, show preparation, understanding courses, and many other essential knowledge and skills. You will gain the work ethic, patience, effectiveness, and problem-solving skills of a top-class athlete. Not only that, but your horse will learn skills alongside you and become the well-trained athlete that champions are made of. You will work together with your horse companion to create and nurture a bond that is necessary for rider/horse pairs to succeed in competition.
We will lay the groundwork for successful habits and basic riding, as well as train you further to reach your potential. We believe that it takes more than talent, that hard work and dedication are important, too. However, it also takes patience and intuition to be able to work alongside a horse and train it to work with you. Each horse is different and each rider/horse pair is unique. Finding that special spark that makes you click with your horse is a matter of listening intently to your horse and being able to respect your companion and its needs. A great deal of open-mindedness and feeling goes into the bonding experience with horses, and you will learn how to develop these personal traits at the same time as your physical riding skills. It’s all about balance.
We offer horse boarding and horse stable services, as well as basic riding just for fun. Not everybody who is welcomed here has to be in it for the competition. We understand the pure joy that comes with being around and riding horses, and to do so casually is a fun way to spend a morning or afternoon. Who knows, maybe one of your horse riding lessons can turn into a desire for full-fledged equestrian lessons, which we also offer.
Through disciplined training, our riders and their horses learn to coordinate and communicate with each other effectively to reach successful competitive standards. Here at Van Doren Show Jumping and Hunters, you will learn skills that will last a lifetime.
