Children will need to bring a packed lunch, a snack, a waterproof coat and a named water bottle with them.
This activity is suitable for children who have never ridden as well as children who can already ride.

Pole work involves riding over trotting-poles lying on the ground at a controlled pace – it is an excellent tool to improve riding skills for jumping. In these pole work clinics we’ll be using the poles to focus on and improve steering, balance, impulsion and accuracy, with exercises appropriate to your level of riding. It’s also a lot of fun!
Please book via ECPro.
