We have new lesson spaces for beginner riders age 7 plus. We have a few spaces available in our more advanced lessons for riders age 12 plus. We also have home school ride time during the day for those who would like their children to learn more about horses – from horse care to horse riding. Please contact us for more information.

Riding lessons are designed to produce balanced, secure and effective riders that are in harmony with the horses they ride. It is vital, therefore, that beginner riders are taught soundly from the outset. Correct foundations, with an emphasis on posture, are paramount. We take time with beginners in order that stability, confidence and effective riding is achieved before moving on to the next level.
