Riding Lessons

12 August 2024:

Would your child like to learn to ride?

We currently have places available for beginners aged 4 – 12 years to join our group riding lessons from 9 September.

You will need to register your child on our booking system and email us to arrange a discounted group assessment lesson.

Our lessons:

We offer a range of lessons, for beginners who’ve never ridden before to more experienced riders. Our focus is on children and teenagers and we do not offer adult group lessons. We do provide private or semi-private lessons for adults – providing riders are under our 12 stone weight limit.

Our instructors work with people who’ve never ridden before, nervous riders who’d like to build confidence, returning riders who want to refresh their skills and those who’ve ridden a lot. Our Outdoor group lessons have a maximum of 6-7 riders and our Indoor group lessons are usually 4 -5 riders.

Before your lesson be sure to check out our Important Information page which includes information on what to wear and more. You can find out more about our lesson lengths and pricing below.

If you or your child have ridden before and would like riding lessons, we ask you to book an assessment session to assess your level of riding and to ensure that we match you with the right instructor and horse.

For children:

New riders: Please book an assessment (private 30 min lesson) prior to joining a group lesson – your child will be graded at the assessment and will then be able to join a suitable group or they can continue with private or semi-private lessons. Due to the high volume of riders, it may be a few weeks between assessment and group lesson availability.
