Frequently Asked Questions

At Ohio Horse Park, we offer a variety of horseback riding lessons, including beginner, intermediate, and advanced riding lessons. We also offer specialized lessons in reining, barrels, and other specialty classes.

For beginner lessons at the Lesson Barn, you can message our instructor directly through the Ohio Horse Park Riding Lessons page. 

For advanced lessons or training, our owner, Aubrey, receives messages through the Adkins Performance Horses page. 

You can also send us a message through our website and your inquiry will be forwarded to the correct team. 

We recommend wearing long pants, boots with a heel, and a comfortable shirt. It's also important to bring a helmet, which we can provide if needed. 

Season appropriate attire is a must. Though we have two indoor arenas, they are still exposed to the temperatures outside. 

We offer lessons for riders of all ages, but we typically recommend that children be at least 3 years old to start riding.

Due to the nature of our facility, we can't always be available to answer calls or messages or promptly return them. Even so, we make every effort to respond to inquiries as quickly as possible. If you do not receive a response from a member of our team within 24 hours, please feel free to reach out to us again. We might have been out here chasing horses and need a reminder!

Our address is 400 Bobcat Ln, Franklin Furnace, OH 45629. We are less than 30 minutes outside of Ironton, OH, and just across the bridge from Greenup, KY.
