Lessons

Our lessons last between 45 mins and an hour. For small children or students with special requirements or needs we are able to do this by splitting the lesson in half doing parts of it on the ground, in the yard, ridden in the school or out on a short hack.

We have special classes for tots, beginners, intermediates, and students who need to regain confidence after a fall or time out of the saddle. We also do a class for ladies only.

We keep the numbers fairly small and if the weather poses a problem we can always go over stable management in our adjacent barn.

Parents are encouraged to participate in lessons by lead reining their children which gives you valuable one to one time with your child. If you wish to leave older children to ride whilst you take care of younger siblings you are welcome to remain on the yard and can make use of our small petting zoo of other pets including a giant rabbit, guinea pigs, fancy rats, Bengal cats, and a BEAR! (it’s OK – we don’t really have a bear for your children to pet! This is the nickname given to our particularly cuddly and friendly house dog Bru – go and look for him in the gallery)

Hats are provided and safety stirrups or toe stops can be fitted if you do not have your own boots. There are also some body protectors available and all of these are at no extra cost. The cost of a lesson is £20 but should you like to become a “Wildrider” and come regularly then you can buy a Smartride Plan  which entitles you to a 15% discount.
