Group lessons for children are based on riding ability ranging from those just starting out to advanced riders. Private lessons on a one to one basis can also be booked. Adult lessons, private or group, are available for beginners, intermediate and advanced riders covering all disciplines.

Riding hats and body protectors are available to use free of charge, although we would advise anyone to invest in their own equipment should they take up horse riding on a more regular basis.

The Beginner and Novice

Children must be 4 years of age or over. At this level riders will be taught the basics of riding whilst on the lead rein. When able to walk and trot safely they will be taken off the lead rein and move on to intermediate level.

The Intermediate Rider

At this level riders will progress to learn how to canter, do pole work and build on what they have already learnt with regards to their position, balance and control of their horse in readiness for advanced level.

The Advanced Rider

This level includes more technical input and jumping.

Clinics

Periodically we run show jumping, dressage, cross country and combined training clinics. You can also book private lessons if you want to work on a specific discipline. We occasionally invite specialist instructors to hold clinics in their particular discipline.

We operate a cancellation policy - we require at least 24 hours notice of any cancellation otherwise a fee may be charged unless there are extenuating circumstances. Please contact us if you would like more information or pricing.
