Academy
Do you want to learn to ride? You don’t even need to own a horse!
The Academy Program, sponsored by TWHBEASM and the Walking Horse Owner's Association, is an instructional program where students are taught the fundamentals of riding and showing. Students take lessons on “school” horses that are owned by an instructor and are charged an hourly rate. Many shows include Academy classes, and they are strictly for those taking lessons on school horses.
