It's nice to know that our clients agree that these are our keys to success:

1. •    QUALITY INSTRUCTORS: Loftmar's instructors are 
   

       carefully chosen with a minimal turnover.  Each is highly    

       skilled and certified.  They truly care about their students and

       are wonderful role models and friends.

1. •     WELL TRAINED SCHOOL HORSES:  We have the best
   

        school horses and ponies in this area.  Our horses are a major

        reason why students consistently place above others in shows.           

        They also contribute to our safe environment.

1. •ORGANIZED/CLEAN FACILITY:  Our airy block barn with spacious stalls, provide the best environment for the horses and ponies.  We also have heated tackrooms, indoor and outdoor washracks, a lighted outdoor dressage & jumping ring, and a 80'XI60' indoor arena.  Our organized program, and the pride we take in our facilities, will be obvious on your first visit.
   

1. •CARING FAMILY ATMOSPHERE: We take as much pride in our student's accomplishments, as we do in our facilities and ourselves.  Riding at Loftmar is not only a sport but a social activity where both instructors and students encourage and support one another.
   

1. •SAFETY/CHA PROGRAM: While riding is fun, safety is paramount. The importance of having knowledgeable people capable of preventing accidents is essential.  CHA, the Association for Horsemanship, Safety, and Education, places appropriate emphasis on safety and development of proper riding skills.  The CHA program supports the skills taught in our lesson program.
   

1. •CONSISTENCY: With very few exceptions, our students ride with the same instructor weekly.  Our instructors are highly qualified, so when you work with another instructor, you will benefit from their individual teaching style. Loftmar's teaching manual helps instructors teach with consistency.
