WE ARE EQUESTRIANS
Welcome to Benchmark Equestrian

Foundation Skills Building
Benchmark Equestrian believes in providing a fun, safe, and family-friendly environment that encourages students of all levels and ages to fall in love with the sport. Our belief is that a strong foundation is essential to success. For a strong foundation, riders require individualized attention and a curriculum customized to their skill level and goals.
Lessons
Benchmark Equestrian is pleased to offer riding lessons to all levels of riders. The safety of our students is our top priority. Whether you are a true beginner with no horse experience, or an experienced rider looking for challenging and technical lessons, we have both the coaches and horses available to suit your needs.
We offer lessons in a group setting, semi-private and private lessons.
Once a prospective student has conducted a trial lesson the Benchmark team will determine the best lesson for that rider to join.

In-House Schooling Shows
Students enrolled in the lesson program have a chance to enter an in-house schooling show to compete against their peers and demonstrate the skills learned in their regular lessons.
Students do not require any additional equipment for our in-house schooling shows. It is a casual and fun environment that allows riders to “strut their stuff” for family and friends.
A variety of divisions are available from beginner to our more advanced riders and include two jumping rounds and one flat round judged by an external professional.
A division fee of $75.00 + HST is charged for each schooling show.
Part Boarding
It is not uncommon for riders to fall in love with specific mounts. Though it is essential for a rider’s development to learn to ride different types of horses, here at Benchmark, we understand a rider’s desire to build a relationship with their favorite horse.
Students wishing to participate in our part-boarding program secures them a specific horse for two lessons and one additional flat ride per week for three month intervals.
