Staff and volunteers have been vaccinated for COVID 19 virus.
In addition, riders age 12 and older have been vaccinated. While it is not mandatory that anyone be vaccinated, it is mandatory that ALL individuals wear a face mask (vaccinated or not) while within close proximity (6 feet or less) of others. We have had no onsite reports of COVID 19 and work diligently to keep everyone safe. Items and tack used are disinfected after each use. Additionally, all participants and staff must sign in for each visit to the stable and check that they are feeling well and have been fever free. In sum, we are following the CDC and state of Maryland Guidelines as they are provided since the inception of the pandemic. We thank all for their adherence to these guidelines

LeCheval Stable is a 501 c 3 non profit, licensed and insured facility. We provide an inclusive opportunity for individuals to explore the total equestrian experience. Riders ages 5 to adult learn basic standards and horsemanship skills necessary for safe riding.
Lessons are geared to the strengths and needs of the rider after an initial riding evaluation. During first phase lessons, riders will gain an understanding of overall safety and barn rules. They will actively participate in grooming, (un)tacking the horse, leading the horse, and working on the lunge line at a walk and trot. They will learn how to steer a straight, curved and zig zag line at the walk. Balancing at the walk and trot and beginning to post at the trot will ready riders for advancing skills.
As riders progress, they will move through levels commensurate with their demonstrated ability. The team will work with each rider to provide support, positive feedback and modify instruction as deemed necessary. Riding the horse using upward transitions (halt to walk to trot to canter) and downward transitions (canter to trot to walk to halt) will be a major focus for advanced beginners and early intermediate riders.
LeCheval Stable provides a working student program and hands on training for responsible individuals who may want to volunteer as sidewalkers, leaders, acquire barn management skills or gain a deeper understanding of how horses can enrich the lives of others.
