Instruction at Woodsong |
| |

Woodsong Farm has been training horses and riders since
1967. Throughout the years, we have had the pleasure of working with riders with
a wide variety of goals and aspirations. Some simply love the animals and the
joy they bring, while others enjoy the challenge of competing at the local and
national level. Whatever a rider’s level or desire, we are pleased to be able to
continue to offer a program to suit each individual’s needs and wishes. |

Woodsong Farm offers year-round instruction for hunters, equitation, and
dressage for all ages and levels. We start children at five years of age and
teach all ages, including adults. Whether you desire to compete at the top
levels, simply want to learn enough to feel confident on vacation at a dude
ranch, or anywhere in between, we can help you reach your goals. All beginners
are started in half-hour private lessons. The one-on-one instruction afforded in
the private lesson is not only safer for the student, but also assures that the
student can progress at his or her own speed. A one hour semi-private lesson is
an option for our more advanced riders currently training with us. |

As required by the state of Massachusetts, each of Woodsongs' instructors and
trainers is licensed by the Commonwealth. Important to the education of the
rider, our instructors have an extensive background of training and competitive
experience. Our riders have the opportunity to work with more than one
instructor. To keep continuity in our riders’ training, all of our instructors
teach with the same basic philosophy. However, sometimes one instructor will
phrase something slightly different than another instructor, enabling that all
important concept to "click" for the rider.
All riders are required to wear riding boots, or a shoe with a heel, and a
hunt cap with a safety harness whenever mounted on the horse. Woodsong has hunt
caps available for new students to borrow for their first couple of lessons if
they are unsure of making a commitment to a new sport. All lessons require
advanced scheduling and appointments can be made by calling Woodsong Farm at
508-896-5800.
During the summer months, in addition to our year-round instruction and
training, we offer two separate horsemanship programs
for children of all ages. Our Pony
Kids program is designed as an introductory program for inexperienced
riders, or as a continuing program for young riders. The
Horsemasters program is designed for the
experienced rider who is committed to improving his or her skills.
