Read more about our lessons below:
At Banshee we believe that it is important to create good horse-people, not just good riders. We want our students to learn good horsemanship, which includes leading, grooming, 
tacking, bathing and handling as well as just enjoying time in the saddle. The relationship between rider & horse is built on the ground as well as when on the horses back. Horseback riding is the only sport where an athlete is partnered with an animal and asked to perform. So we must keep in mind that horses are naturally flight animals. Because of this when working around horses we need to be calm, yet assertive to keep from making the horse fearful of a situation. This is where the fundamentals of good horsemanship is important.
Respect, responsibility, and understanding of the horse is paramount. In the Our Horses tab we introduce you to our wonderful lesson horses that range from the gentlest souls, to the more advanced competitive horses. Lesson horses are chosen by the instructors based on their temperament and abilities. Each horse is adaptable to different riders.
Banshee Ranch offers Western lessons at all levels. We strive to use positive re-enforcement to encourage our student’s love of every discipline. While you are learning all the essentials of horsemanship you will also learn about discipline, respect, safety and the rich history surrounding horses. Learning will be paced to match each student’s ability. All students must sign release forms before starting lessons.
Western riding offers students a chance to learn basic skills and balance that prepares them for further activities such as trail riding, speed events and showing.
An instructor is available 7 days a week, mornings & evening lessons are available. To see which days a specific instructor is available please email us.

FAQ
What kind of events/clinics/shows does the ranch host?
Every year, Banshee Ranch hosts Barrel Bashes, a Halloween Costume Contest, Christmas Party, and a Barn Dad Cookoff, as well as clinics with outside speakers/trainers. Clinics are scheduled by request of the riders and boarders. The drill team also participates in local parades and competitions.
What is a “Junior Trainer”?
Junior trainers are advanced students that have come up through our program to the point they are able to train novice riders. They train under the supervision of the head trainer and participate in continuing education classes so they can give their best to their students. It is a wonderful program the gives great opportunity to our advanced riders and gives something for our novice riders to aspire to.
Can I compete? What do I pay for during competition?
Students compete both in Banshee Ranch competitions and outside competitions within a 2 hour range of the Ranch. Students may compete on a ranch lesson horse with whom they have been partnering, or if suitable, their own horse. Students pay their own entry fees; the Ranch provides hauling and coaching at cost which is set for each event.
What volunteer opportunities do I have at the ranch?
All volunteers must have gone thru the student program and “sponsored” by a trainer. This means they must coordinate and answer to the sponsoring trainer.
What if I don’t have my own horse?
No problem! The ranch has its own herd of talented lesson horses specifically for lessons. Students have a variety of horses to ride, from quiet, beginner-safe mounts to more advanced competitors.
Can I bring my own tack or equipment? What sort of tack does the ranch have?
The ranch furnishes everything necessary for all of our stock and we strive to have quality equipment that fits every rider. Riders are allowed to bring their own equipment but all equipment must be approved. Bits must be approved by the head trainer and all saddles must go thru a “fitting” exam for each horse the rider wishes to use it on.
What is horsemanship class?
It is a free class provided by the ranch open to boarders only. It is to help bridge the gap between the lesson program and horse ownership. It covers mostly ground work and other educational items a horse owner needs to know. It is held a few times a year as the need arises.
Adult clinic/drill vs Youth clinic/drill?
Why should the kids have all the fun? We strive to have an active adult social group which can be seen in our adult drill team and other events. An Adult only clinic is an extension of that. We encourage parents and adult boarders to come and learn in an environment tailored to them. And of course we do BYOB and some other fun adult only refreshments.
