Foundations and Beyond Children's Lessons

12/03/2023

We have officially started a 4-H Club! If you are interested in joining, please text Beth at 541-823-6506.

It is called "The Quest 4-H Club" and is part of Payette County 4-H. We are having our first meeting on Thursday, December 7th at 6 PM at my house (2765 SW 3rd Avenue, Fruitland, ID). Any and all projects are welcome but there will be a focus on horse. If your kid is the only one in the club interested in a certain project, be prepared to be project leader in that category. I am at your service and willing to help any way I can, but I will need help leading other project areas.

In other news; Christmas lesson certificates are available! We provide you with a pretty, personalized, laminated gift certificate ready to wrap up for your horsey kids. To order, email [email protected] or text me at 541-823-6506. You can purchase a certificate for one lesson, a package of four; whatever works best for you!

Thank you for entrusting your horse journeys to us. We are honored to help guide you and your children.

Merry Christmas!

Beth Nicholes

We teach you how to confidently handle your horse on the ground and ride with great horsemanship. We want our kids to understand how horses work and how to teach horses, as well as make progress in their riding goals. English or Western, we are ready to help! We will take you to your first jumping show or get you on the trails.

We can help you learn, have fun, and stay safe.
$60 for one lesson or a package of four lessons for $200. We have horses, ponies, tack, and we do not charge extra for you to use them! Each lesson is one hour. (Roughly, half groundwork and half riding.) For younger children, we also offer a half hour option! A package of four 30-minute lessons is $150 or $45 for one 30-minute lesson.
Located at FAB Horsemanship, 2765 SW 3rd Ave, Fruitland, Idaho.
Book your lesson (or a free consult!) now by texting 541-823-6506 or email [email protected] .

Be sure to read the whole post, several important updates are in here!

We will be taking two weeks off of lessons for Christmas/New Year's. No lessons will be scheduled from December 25th through January 7th.

For the rest of the winter, we have decided to open Fridays. We will continue to teach on Fridays through the end of March 2023. Starting in April we will close Fridays again. If you would like to try and switch your slots up, please text Beth at 541-823-6506.

Any lesson that starts at 5 PM or later will be limited to the small arena only, as that is where we have lights. If you are scheduling a lesson at that time please also keep in mind it will be COLD.

We are offering Christmas gift certificates again this year. If you would like to order some, please email or text Beth. (Her email is [email protected] ) We provide you with a gorgeous laminated certificate, all ready to wrap up and give to your horse crazy kid. The Christmas certificates will expire if unused on September 1st, 2023. (As a reminder, normal unused lesson packages expire three months from the purchase date.)

Thank you so much for your continued support. We hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.

Stay safe and warm,

Beth, Laura, and Sarah Nicholes
