We are always happy to see you, even if you just want to say hello to a horse.
Our Lessons for Beginners:
If you have never ridden but would like to have a go why not come for a taster ride, which will be a relaxing ride with a leader.
After this if you feel you would like to continue we recommend between 6 to 12 lunge lessons.
This will help you become familiar with the horse, learn to balance and sit correctly and strengthen the muscles you need for riding.
After this you will progress on to riding independently, privately or in a group.
If you can ride:
We offer private half or full hour lessons (1 person), semi-private half or full hour lessons (2 people) and group lessons for an hour for 3 or more people.
We will endeavour to give you as broad a riding experience as possible, covering basic dressage, jumping and hacking.
Lead Rein Lessons :
We offer lead rein lessons for the tiny tots (4 - 7 years).
Club Days:
These are held throughout the year and designed for riders of any ability.
They are a great way for the kids to make more friends or for you to drop them off for the afternoon while you take some time for out yourself!
Pony Days:
These are extremely popular and are run during the school holidays. A typical day would start at 10.00 am and finish at 4.00pm.
We cover all aspects of stable routine and horse care in a fun, friendly and safe environment. See last pony day.
