The wisdom of a seasoned school master is irreplaceable.
Horseback Riding Lessons
For the last forty years our horse back riding lessons and our lesson horses have been the heart of our organization. We are passionate about the fundamentals of horsemanship and the safety of our riders. We want each of our students to reach their individual goals by providing the building blocks that are necessary to be a become a confident and balanced rider.
Riding Lessons Program
DeVito Equestrian Center welcomes riders of all levels and all ages above the age of seven. The riding lessons provide a fun and accepting place to learn. Our horses are reliable and experienced teachers — the foundation of all great horsemanship depends upon respecting and understanding these magical animals. Our riding lessons instructors are professional, calm and caring, giving each student a solid foundation. If you’re looking for horse lessons for kids, or if you’re an adult looking for non judgmental riding lessons, you’ve come to the right place.
We offer private, semi-private and group riding lessons, all by appointment.

Sterling on the Lunge Line
This school horse knows his job.
Maynard
This horse loves everyone. He is a kind soul. Gentle inside and out. A person could look a long time and not find a horse as forgiving and accepting as Maynard.
Maynard
He’s wonderful!
