Riding Lessons for 2024
LESSONS
Term 4 dates are below.
We teach the basics well. Over the years our horse riding basics; heels down, independent seat, soft hands, has given many young riders the tools they needed to move onto their own horses and become great competitive riders. As well as being the foundations for the young riders to go on as adults and continue their career in equestrian or animal related industries. Former students are currently working in trick training, vet science, equine science and stock work.
We consider our riding lessons to be learning a life skill, where you will learn not just how to ride but also safe horsemanship skills on the ground and how to meet all the needs of a horse should you be lucky enough to own one in the future.

Pony Crazy mornings
Selected days through the school holidays,

Parents bring your 10 and under for a morning of pony fun, fun, fun! Parents stay with the kids for the morning; with led pony trails, colouring competition, Chocolate and Fudge the donkeys will be there for grooming and cuddles, sand pit play area, complementary tea and coffee for the grown-ups, it’s family friendly and great way to spend a couple of hours and for kids to expend some energy.
For riders taking lessons with us we are always looking for volunteer horse helpers – it is a great way to learn more about horse handling and have lots of horse cuddles.
