Classes we offer and lesson structure
Most riders start in a beginners class suited to their age and ability and can progress to a more advanced ride.
The day lessons between Tuesdays and Fridays are mainly for school groups, adult day centres and specialist individual groups. Individual riders, adults and juniors, may join a suitable class after school hours including evenings, or ride on a Saturday.
The structure of the lessons is geared to the needs, abilities and requests of the riders.
Besides learning how to ride a horse independently, riders enjoy other activities including stable management, dressage, handy pony competitions, fun days with treasure hunts and games. Our dressage team has qualified several times for the National RDA Dressage competition held annually and last year won Silver.
All lessons are taken by trained instructors
Our instructors are helped by a deputy and, where necessary, a group of helpers to lead the horses. read more
