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