Beginners:

We welcome beginners and riders who have had a long break. Your first lesson will be on lead and you will be given the chance to get to know the horse and establish balance and confidence. Each rider is different so we believe in allowing riders to progress at their own pace. We will help plan a programme especially for you. Please feel free to discuss any requirements with your instructor.

If you can ride:

We will endeavour to give you as broad a riding experience as possible, covering basic dressage, jumping and hacking.

Lead Rein Lessons :

We offer private lead rein lessons for children aged 4 - 6 years. The lesson will focus on balance and confidence.

Club or Pony Days:

These are held throughout the year and designed for riders of any ability. Here you will be shown how to work with the horse, grooming, tacking up and riding. Giving you a complete horse experience.

Hacks

We offer hacking to riders who have passed our hacking assessment.
