The students of Elysium Farm must have plenty of heart and dedication.
It is geared towards both adults and children. The lesson program is strict yet fun requiring the students to learn how to get their horse ready for a lesson and build enough strength on the horse to be properly balanced when riding. This involves both text book homework at home, as well as, exercises done at home.

 Student below is demonstrating some of the exercises she has to do at home.
