Junior classes are suitable for novices who can walk, trot and canter independantly. Intermediate classes are suitable for pupils who are learning to ride without stirrups and have sufficient balance to carry out pole work. Senior lessons are for competent and experienced riders and may include pole work, jumping and hacking out during the summer months.
Hacks
Hacks are available for experienced riders only with an escort. Safety assessment required for all riders.
What should you wear?
It is a good idea to bring a waterproof coat as lessons continue regardless of the weather. If you have not ridden before we suggest you wear comfortable leggings or loose fitting trousers,a flat shoes with a small heel, or wellies. Riding hats can be hired. However, after your first few lessons it is advisable to purchase your own hat, which should be a minimum standard PAS 015 or BSEN 1384. A selection of hats and riding wear is available in our shop.
To book your lesson simply give us a call, telling us of your experience and approximate height and weight. Bookings are usually made one week in advance, but we can sometimes take bookings at shorter notice. Unfortunately, we cannot accept bookings via e-mail.
