We offer lessons for all riding levels! Our primary focus is Dressage and Eventing but we do offer limited western lessons as well. Lessons are taught by one of our well qualified instructors and can be on a lesson horse or yours. Grand Oaks also frequently hosts clinics with top instructors from other facilities to allow our clients a well rounded set of learning opportunities.

Kim Thompson-Hoblit

 I have been an avid Dressage enthusiast since my first lesson in the summer of 1980.  Coming from a western background the precision and challenge of Dressage hooked me, so much so that after college I decided to enter an apprenticeship with Paul Kathen at Texover Farms.  After two years apprenticing, I continued to teach and train at Texover for another two years.  Since 1994 I've been exclusively in the Clear Lake / Friendswood / Alvin area, teaching, training and showing. 


Some of Kim's Accomplishments include:

 

  • Over 20 years of experience in Dressage instruction
  • USDF "L" Graduate
  • Recipient of the Houston Dressage Societies Bushager Award
  • Intensive training with Debbie Bowman
  • Trained under the instruction of Olympic rider Hilda Gurney, Germany's Col. Von Ziegner, and also Marina Genn and Whit Watkins
  • Participated in the USDF Instructors Certification program
  • Selected to ride two years in a row in the Trainers Symposium, riding with Hannes Mueller and Alex Wortmann
  • Reserve Champion for 1st Level USDF Region 9 (ABIG) with her first horse Lindy

Lesson Policies

Cancellation

Lessons must be cancelled 24 hours in advance or the student will be charged for that lesson. We frequently have others who are able to ride in those spots and without adequate notice we are unable to fill those spots. Repeated cancellations will be asked for pre-payment in order to book their lesson.

Proper Attire

Students must have a close toed shoe/boot with a heel and long pants on for their lesson. We do have a limited supply of helmets to borrow but encourage students to purchase their own within the first month of lessons. If a student forgets to wear appropriate clothing and cannot find anything in our limited supply of loaner items it will be treated as a last minute cancellation.

Sale Horses

We've sold our available horses but we have a large network of trainers that we frequently shop from - please ask us about finding your next partner!
