Times

Joan only teaches at Willow Pond on Wednesdays. Riders can join any existing lesson group that fits her schedule or arrange a new lesson time with Joan.

Cost

For UCSC team members, Joan charges $50 per month for one 45 minute lesson each week, or $12.50 per lesson, regardless of the number of people in the group. Willow Pond charges $40 per month, or $10 per lesson, for use of the ring. If you ride a Willow Pond horse, the fee is $80 per month, or $20 per lesson.

Practice Rides

Team members are encouraged to ride an additional horse each week to practice the skills learned in lessons. Willow pond does not charge a horse fee for practice rides but members may be asked to work another horse as well; typically not one that would be used in our lessons but a begginer lesson horse/pony that needs to be worked/schooled.
