KIDS Lessons

Lessons combine horse handling and riding skills. During the hour-long session, children learn how to prepare a horse for riding, including grooming and saddling.

Suitable for complete beginners, our lessons start with time on the lunge to improve balance and develop a correct position. As riders gain experience, they progress through the paces (walk, trot, and canter) and may even have the opportunity to jump. Sporting activities and games are also included to boost confidence and add variety.

We have a fun and relaxed environment in which to learn however emphasis is put on safety and the discipline required around large animals.

 

What to wear?
There is no need to go out and buy expensive gear. Helmets and boots are provided.
  • Long pants such as tights/leggings or tracksuit pants. These are normally more comfortable than jeans.
  • A comfortable shirt, remembering lessons are conducted outside so something that offers some sun protection is recommended.
  • Socks that go above the ankle to prevent rubbing.
  • Enclosed shoes that at least cover the ankle. They need to have a small heel so the foot can't slip all the way through the stirrup and a smooth sole. If there is too much grip the foot will get stuck in the stirrup. No runners.

    If you have any questions please feel free to contact us.
