Top-Notch Lesson Ponies
Discover Your Passion for Equestrian Sports with Cross Creek Farm
We understand that every rider’s situation is unique, so we want to be transparent about our program. While we don’t offer lesson horses, we do provide lesson ponies for young riders. If you’re an older student, we ask that you bring your own horse, whether it’s one you own or lease.
Don’t have a horse yet? Don’t worry—we can help you find the perfect mount to lease or purchase, ensuring it fits your goals well.
