We’ve been training riders since 1983. But we are proud to announce the launch of our completely revamped equestrian training program – the Chagrin Valley Riding Academy. This multi-faceted and tiered program will incorporate our Riding & Horsemanship Foundations program for beginners to train riders from the ground up (literally), and then develop them over time toward their individual goals. We emphasize a well-rounded approach to developing riding skills and horsemanship knowledge, including both flat and over fences work inside and outside the ring, and horse management skills. For our younger students, we emphasize the need for good nutrition, physical fitness, and good academic habits.

Chagrin Valley Riding Academy instructors and trainers have competed in, or had clients in, all levels of competition, and will instill in riders the values needed to achieve goals in life: individual skills, teamwork, dedication, persistence, and hard work.

Whether students are interested in riding recreationally, competing in local schooling shows, or competing at the highest levels-in college, on the professional circuit, or beyond-the Chagrin Valley Riding Academy offers programs designed to help our clients reach their equestrian goals.
