Our lessons are designed to develop a partnership between you and your horse. Tacking and grooming is an essential way of getting to know your horse, getting you use to each other. We don’t use or encourage use of whips or spurs for our riding lessons and you will be taught in a way that builds harmony between you and your horse.
Please note due to the size of horses, we have a weight limit of 12 stones.
We specialise in riding lessons for returning, new, novice and nervous riders to help them feel calm, confident and capable. We have experienced experts who will help you reach your goals. We have a beautiful team of healthy horses suitable for most abilities, shapes and sizes. It is a structured series of horse riding lessons that provides lessons and coaching specifically designed to support a rider’s first steps into the saddle or regaining confidence for returning riders.
All of our lessons start with a 30-minute grooming, bonding, and tacking up before you ride, then tacking up. We provide you with as much or as little support as needed. Please note that due to the size of our current horses, we have a weight limit of 12 stones or 75kg.
