For the very young or those wanting a taste of riding we offer Tots Trots - a trip through fields and woods for 20 minutes on a pony with leaders and parents.
We start 'formal' lessons from 6 years old on our half hour groups and they progress through the following stages:
This is the first stage of learning to ride, we like to take our time over this one to make sure all the basic skills are in place before you move on but it should still be fun!
This is the next bit, where you will concentrate on how to control your pony without help from a leader but with an experienced rider to follow.
Now it starts to get interesting! In this stage you will need to control your pony without following. Most of the exercises will be ones you already know except this time you will be on your own.
Learn to Canter - anyone want to guess what you learn in this one? If you got that right then you may already have guessed that Learn to Jump in an hour lesson follows on!
We teach all standards. Maybe you always wanted to ride and never got around to it or maybe you used to ride as a child and feel the urge to get back in the saddle. Perhaps you are experienced but looking for a new place for lessons. Either way we have a horse for you so come and have a go.
