The King David Stables riding school offers lessons for children and youth throughout the academic year. Lessons are given in a pleasant atmosphere under the direction of professional instructors. Lessons cover riding, horse care and grooming, basic veterinary science, horse training, archery, lasso throwing and more.
In addition to teaching about the world of horses these lessons:
instill sportsmanlike qualities
develop an affinity for animals
strengthen self-confidence
provide a source of pride
establish a sense of belonging to a place of unique and quality atmosphere
The program is adapted to each participant according to his/her age and riding ability. The younger children begin riding on ponies and progress gradually to larger horses.
Lessons are given in English and/or Hebrew. Two options are available for lessons:
Private: 45 minute lesson, once a week (Sunday thru Friday) Group: 60 minute lesson, once a week in the appropriate group (depending on age and riding ability)
Youth who participate in these lessons can join the volunteer program. Volunteering allows the student to take part in the routine work at the stable throughout the school year. This work provides a personal, advanced learning experience and allows the youth to improve his/her skills in a pleasurable atmosphere.
A transportation program for residents of Jerusalem and Mevasseret Zion is available.
