Horses were once so much a part of human civilization that the number-one answer given by first-graders to the question, “what do you want to be when you grow up?” was “a centaur.” Hearken back to the time of horse-man hybrids with today's deal: for $99, you get five private (a $40 value each) or group (a $25 value each) riding lessons at GrayStone Stables and Equestrian Center in Snohomish. For safety purposes, riders must weigh 250 pounds or less.

With five private or group riding lessons, GrayStone can turn the most land-based of legs into horse-clutching saddle accessories. Lessons are available for beginners to advanced riders of all ages, making the lesson a perfect place to learn how to ride or stay in good form. Each 50-minute lesson consists of activities and riding tailored to individual riders' skills, whether they need to learn how to tack up and mount their furry, adorable mode of conveyance or want a lot of saddle time and advanced pointers on how to properly appreciate a horse's extremely soft nose. GrayStone's western or English saddle-style lessons give you the option of going horned or staying smooth all over the 70'x180' indoor riding arena and 110'x220' outdoor field as you gaze over an incredible view of the valley and the back of a horse's head. Call to set up lesson times and experience the traditions of equestrianism at GrayStone, reaching the potential of which your first-century alter ego once dreamt.
