How do I go about enrolling my child in the Legacy camp program?

Please contact Brecken Sahs, Riding School Manager/Instructor by calling (425) 869-1527 or emailing her at lessons@legacyhuntersjumpers.com. Brecken will arrange a time that is mutually convenient for you and your child to meet with her, tour the facility, discuss any questions you may have and set up initial pre-camp lessons.

Why the business name Legacy?

Legacy was founded by Shelly Kerron, a third generation equestrian, to create a riding program that promotes the standard of excellence she inherited from her family.  As owner and head trainer, Shelly oversees all aspects of Legacy's operation and riding programs.  Under her guidance, the experienced professional staff ensure a positive, friendly atmosphere while horse and rider are trained to the highest level of their ability.

Is it possible for my child to ride year round?

Absolutely.  In addition to an outside riding arena the facility has an indoor covered riding arena where lessons are offered year round.

Can my child participate in horse shows?

Absolutely.  Legacy offers horse shows on site where riding school students can participate and experience the thrill of competition.  Classes at our horses shows start at the beginner walk - trot level and progress through jumping over a course of fences.  Game classes are held to test and demonstrate the rider's skills. A qualified judge and announcer, along with amazing ribbons and awards add to the prestige of the event.  In addition Legacy hosts a BBQ during the event for all family, friends and exhibitors.

What if all the sessions are full?

At that time, additional sessions may be offered.  As an alternative, Legacy will attempt to design a summer riding program that will mutually meet the needs of your child.
