About E G Lessons and Training

E G Lessons and Training is located in Solon, Maine, a small Somerset County town along the Kennebec River at the gateway to the Kennebec Highlands. The facility offers both horseback riding instruction and horse boarding, making it a well-rounded option for residents of this rural western Maine region. Solon sits far from the state's larger urban centers, so a local provider that combines training and boarding fills a real need for horse owners who don't want to travel long distances. The surrounding landscape, with forests, river views, and open farmland, provides a natural riding environment.

Services & Process

E G Lessons and Training focuses on structured riding instruction alongside boarding services, meaning clients can keep their horse on-site and train in the same location. Lessons typically cover fundamentals like proper position, communication with the horse, and safe handling both in and out of the saddle. Training services for horses can include ground work, desensitization, and building responsiveness to rider cues, which benefits both green horses and those with behavioral gaps. Boarding clients get the added benefit of having a knowledgeable trainer on the property who can monitor their horse's progress and flag any concerns.

Service Area

E G Lessons and Training serves riders and horse owners in Solon and throughout the surrounding Somerset County region, including communities like Bingham, Madison, and Embden. The facility is also accessible to clients from the Skowhegan area, roughly 20 miles to the south.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need my own horse to take lessons at E G Lessons and Training?
Many lesson facilities provide school horses for students to ride, so you don't necessarily need to own a horse to take lessons. Confirm with the facility whether they have horses available for lessons or if you're expected to bring your own.
What disciplines do the riding lessons cover?
Lesson programs at facilities like this often focus on English or Western riding, and some instructors are trained in both. Ask when you call what the instructor's primary background is and whether that aligns with your riding goals.
How long does it take to see real improvement with regular lessons?
Riders who take weekly lessons typically notice meaningful improvement in their position and horse communication within two to three months. Consistency matters more than frequency, so showing up regularly and practicing between lessons speeds progress significantly.
Can E G Lessons and Training work with a horse that has behavioral issues?
Horse trainers who specialize in problem-solving can address issues like spooking, resistance, or difficulty with specific cues through systematic groundwork and ridden work. Describe your horse's specific challenges when you call so the trainer can assess whether it's a good fit.
What does a typical boarding day look like at a facility like this?
A standard day includes morning and evening feeding, fresh water, stall cleaning, and turnout time in a paddock or pasture. Some facilities also do midday checks depending on weather and the individual horse's needs.
Is Solon too remote to reach for regular riding lessons?
Solon is about 30 miles north of Skowhegan and reachable via Route 201, which follows the Kennebec River. For riders in the upper Somerset County region, it's actually one of the more accessible local options available.
