Stable Management

Learning about their anatomy, behaviour, and basic health care needs, delving into the theoretical aspects of horse care, including nutrition, training techniques, and common illnesses, can further enhance your knowledge and skills in providing proper care for them. By combining both practical experience and theoretical knowledge, you can become a well-rounded and competent horse person.

Group lessons

Ran on a regular basis over Saturdays & Sundays

Group lessons offer a fun and social way to learn the basics of riding, improve your skills, and connect with other riders. starting from £120 for a block of lessons, it's a cost-effective way to get started on your riding journey. Maximum of 8 riders in a group.

Private & Semi-Private Lessons

Perfect for riders wanting to work on specific goals, adults seeking to retake the reins, groups of friends or Special Education Needs (SEN) children needing more concentration & time.

Our private and semi-private lessons offer personalized instruction tailored to the individual needs and goals of the rider. In a private lesson, riders receive one-on-one attention from the instructor, allowing for focused learning and feedback. On the other hand, semi-private lessons involve a small group (2-3) of riders, offering a balance between individualized attention and the opportunity for interaction with peers.

Equine Assisted Therapy

Equine-assisted therapy sessions offer a unique and effective approach to therapy by incorporating interactions with horses. These 1-1 on the ground sessions can include activities such as basic grooming and care for the horse, as well as handling and leading exercises that aim to build confidence and trust. Horses have a special ability to mirror human emotions and provide immediate feedback, making them valuable partners in therapeutic settings. Through these sessions, individuals can develop important life skills, improve self-awareness, and strengthen emotional well-being in a supportive and non-judgmental environment.
