Do I need prior riding experience or horse knowledge to start lessons at Majic? Absolutely not. Although Majic trains world champion horses and riders, we welcome riders of all experience levels and pride ourselves on being an excellent place for beginners.
Do I have to go to competitions if I take lessons. Riders do not have to compete to take lessons. We have many riders who just ride for fun. Majic does, however, offer a barn show twice a year that is held on site to give our riders an opportunity to show off learned skills in a laid back environment. All of that being said, Majic has an extensive show program; kids and adults alike compete locally and nationally.
