Ride at a consistent time each week with familiar instructors you can trust. Kids ride 30-minute lessons; teens and adults ride longer.
We understand that riding a 1,200-pound animal requires enormous trust. Every part of Hussar Stables is designed around safety, patience, and earning that trust one step at a time.
Calm, kind, and carefully chosen for beginners of all ages.
Patient, focused on confidence and safety first.
Helmets and proper gear provided and required.
More personal attention, calmer environment.
Clear milestones — no rushing, no shortcuts.
Easy access from the Valley — about 20 minutes from Sherman Oaks.
From one lesson a week to riding six days a week with Adam. Every package includes a weekly unmounted horsemanship session, events and our private community. Same program and pricing for kids and adults; Unlimited and the Full Lease are for adults.
