Registration Underway for Indoor Winter Riding Lessons at Lord Stirling Stable

Registration began last week and is on going for juniors and adult riders of all levels for indoor winter riding lessons at the Somerset County Lord Stirling Stable in Basking Ridge.

Registration began last weekend at the stable office and online at www.somersetcountyparks.org and at the stable office. After Dec. 22, all registrations must be done in the stable office, according to the Somerset County Park Commission.

Adults above the beginner 1 level have the option of riding once a week for the full 10-week session or for the first or last five weeks. All junior classes meet once a week for ten weeks. The schedule of classes is available online and in the stable office.

Riders who have previous experience and can post the trot, but have not ridden at Lord Stirling Stable, must be evaluated prior to registration to be placed in the appropriate level. Those riders call the stable office to schedule a convenient testing appointment.

The 10-week, one-hour program rates for Somerset County residents are $290 for flat (non-jumping) classes. The out of county rates for flat classes is $435. Classes over fences are offered at $330 for county residents and $495 for non-county residents.

Payment is due at registration and is payable by cash, check, MasterCard, American Express, Visa or Discover. New students who live in Somerset County must show a driver’s license, Motor Vehicle ID card or local tax form as proof of residency.
