We offer above average lesson horses that have a winning history in the show arena, so that students may relax at shows by showing the horses that they are used to riding at home. A lot, if not almost all of the barns in this area, teach riders just how to look pretty while sitting on the horse, and they forget the most important aspect of riding- how to actually ride. Ace-High’s instructors’ beliefs are form to function, meaning that the riders are taught to ride and handle all different types of situations, but how to look pretty and professional while doing it.

1. Riding Pants (tight fitting jeans, breeches, or jodhpurs)
2. Boots with a ½ inch heel (no hiking boots, ABSOLUTELY NO TENNIS SHOES, SANDALS, CROCS, DRESS SHOES, OR RELATED REGULAR SHOES)
3. Tucked in shirt unless only to top of hip length
4. Little or no jewelry
5. ASTM and SEI approved RIDING helmet REQUIRED for all riders under 18 and ALL riders REGARDLESS of age while working over poles, jumping, or riding in the open. Helmets are available for use free of charge for all students.

If a student does not follow the above clothing guidelines, they will not be able to ride until the necessary adjustments have been made. This is for the SAFETY OF THE STUDENT. At Ace-High Student Safety is PRIORITY NUMBER ONE! If the adjustments cannot satisfactorily be made for that lesson, the full price of the lesson will be charged even if the student is unable to participate in the lesson.
Ace-High is located on thirty acres in Hendersonville, Tennessee. We are conveniently located right off of Vietnam Veterans Boulevard. From downtown Nashville, we are approximately a fifteen minute drive.
We gladly except visitors BY APPOINTMENT ONLY. This is in order for us to be able to donate our time to showing you around our facilities and letting you get to know us better.
To start lessons with Ace-High, you will need the following for EACH person that is taking lessons: Session Application (NEW PROCESS), Release of Liability form, Student Information Form (for either adult or child), Student Riding History Questionnaire, Barn Guidelines, and the appropriate Introductory Package Sheet (if you are doing an introductory package).
Ace-High's new lesson program is set up in 6 week sessions much like a regular school. We have done this to be able to become more efficient in meeting our students' needs correctly. The types of lessons and general information has remained the same for the program. In order to find out about our new lesson program, please see the Riding School Information Brochure located HERE
Click on the Session to get that Session's Application. Registration forms for all sessions are available on this page. It is very important to get your completed registration application and the total fees for the session to Ace-High as soon as possible. Time slots are not held from session to session, so unless your registration application is the first one for the time slot you are requesting, you will not receive it. Registration applications and payment in full MUST be received one month from the starting date of the session for all RETURNING students. NEW students may register for a session at ANY time, but if joining in the middle of the session, the session will either be pro-rated or will be at the pay by the lesson rates depending on the time of entry into the session.
