Do you know a child who dreams about riding horses?

At Haile Equestrian, we believe horseback riding can EMPOWER children, making them more responsible and respectful. We specialize in horseback riding lessons and teaching horsemanship skills, as well as helping to enrich a child’s life. In today’s world it seems almost impossible to find safe activities for children that allow them to grow, learn, fail, and progress… or even make new friends. At Haile Equestrian, we teach young people to be caring, empathetic, attentive, build confidence, learn that failure is a necessary part of success, along with building commodore – all through the magic of being on the back of a horse. Horseback riding can even bring a shy child out of their shell.

Join Haile Equestrian’s partnership with Oak Hall School for a semi-private lesson series for riders ages 5-7. Horseback riding is a naturally socially distant, outdoor, open-air activity. Rides will be in a semi-private format with 3-4 riders in each session, catering to our younger riders. No riding experience is required, this lesson series is a great introduction to horses and riding.

Riders must complete a New Rider Packet for Haile Equestrian and appropriate riding boots are required (see Haile Equestrian Boot Guide for more information). Helmets are required when riding, students are welcome to bring their own or use helmets provided by Haile Equestrian.

Do you know a child who dreams about riding horses?

At Haile Equestrian, we believe horseback riding can EMPOWER children, making them more responsible and respectful. We specialize in horseback riding lessons and teaching horsemanship skills, as well as helping to enrich a child’s life. In today’s world it seems almost impossible to find safe activities for children that allow them to grow, learn, fail, and progress… or even make new friends. At Haile Equestrian, we teach young people to be caring, empathetic, attentive, build confidence, learn that failure is a necessary part of success, along with building commodore – all through the magic of being on the back of a horse. Horseback riding can even bring a shy child out of their shell.

Join Haile Equestrian’s partnership with Oak Hall School for a semi-private lesson series for riders ages 5-7. Horseback riding is a naturally socially distant, outdoor, open-air activity. Rides will be in a semi-private format with 3-4 riders in each session, catering to our younger riders. No riding experience is required, this lesson series is a great introduction to horses and riding.

Riders must complete a New Rider Packet for Haile Equestrian and appropriate riding boots are required (see Haile Equestrian Boot Guide for more information). Helmets are required when riding, students are welcome to bring their own or use helmets provided by Haile Equestrian.

Horseback Riding at Haile Equestrian

Friday dates (14): 1/17, 1/24, (NO 1/31), 2/7, 2/14, 2/21, 2/28, 3/7, 3/14, (NO 3/21), 3/28, 4/4, (NO 4/11), 4/18, 4/25, 5/2, 5/9

Fridays 3:35-5:15
Grades K-8th
Cost: $1001

Do you know a child who dreams about riding horses?

At Haile Equestrian, we believe horseback riding can EMPOWER children, making them more responsible and respectful. We specialize in horseback riding lessons and teaching horsemanship skills, as well as helping to enrich a child’s life. In today’s world it seems almost impossible to find safe activities for children that allow them to grow, learn, fail, and progress… or even make new friends. At Haile Equestrian, we teach young people to be caring, empathetic, attentive, build confidence, learn that failure is a necessary part of success, along with building commodore – all through the magic of being on the back of a horse. Horseback riding can even bring a shy child out of their shell.

Join Haile Equestrian’s partnership with Oak Hall School for a semi-private lesson series for riders ages 5-7. Horseback riding is a naturally socially distant, outdoor, open-air activity. Rides will be in a semi-private format with 3-4 riders in each session, catering to our younger riders. No riding experience is required, this lesson series is a great introduction to horses and riding.

Riders must complete a New Rider Packet for Haile Equestrian and appropriate riding boots are required (see Haile Equestrian Boot Guide for more information). Helmets are required when riding, students are welcome to bring their own or use helmets provided by Haile Equestrian.

The eSports club will start with 4 students and meet twice a week. We will participate in the MSEL (Middle School eSports League) which will have online matches against teams from other schools across the country. This will foster team building, competitive spirit and friendships through a shared love of online gaming. This club will aim to teach how to remain calm, cool and friendly, while still striving to compete in a tournament environment with other students online.

The club will start with supporting two games, Mario Kart 8 and Rocket League on Nintendo Switch consoles. Since we will start with four TV’s and four consoles, we will only be able to include eight students to start. We will operate with one team of four students for the 4v4 setup for Mario Kart, and two teams of four, participating in the 2v2 setup for Rocket League.

The team for Mario Kart will meet on Tuesdays at 3:45pm – 4:45pm to practice until the league starts, then instead of practice we will meet to participate in the league match. The Rocket League teams will meet on Thursdays at 3:45pm – 4:45pm for practice, then that will progress to Thursdays being the match day for Rocket League.
