require students to
sign up for continuous lessons?
At Double J, we believe that weekly lessons develop riding skills safely and ensures steady progress.
Double J is one of the only stables in our area which limits groups to 4 students, who are matched by riding level and style of riding. This stable environment boosts rider comfort level and confidence.
