The Youth and Adult Beginner Program, headed by trainer Mary Svalstedt emphasizes the basic skills that make up a successful foundation in riding.

A lead-line lesson, one-on-one instruction for ages 3 and up, offers kids a fun way to improve motor skills and coordination, develop communication skills, and foster empathy for animals by caring for the horses and ponies before and after each lesson.
As riders gain independence they can move on to a full private lesson or group lesson, and learn to ride at a walk, trot, and canter, as well as learn basic jumping skills.

The Advanced Rider Program, taught by owner and trainer Mary Svalstedt develops the advanced techniques of flat-work and jumping. Many riders in this program compete in horse shows, and the effectiveness of Mary's program is demonstrated by the success these riders enjoy at competitions around the area and at the state level. The students benefit from the tremendously talented and athletic horses that are a part of the lesson and show program at Buckingham Equestrian Center.
