Lessons

Lessons are structured sessions with a qualified Equestrian Coach of either 30 minutes or 1 hour duration. The lessons are structured to the individual needs of each client and are either private (one-on-one) sessions, paired lessons (2 riders) or group lessons.

Lessons can be on one of our well schooled ponies/horses or your own.

Configuration of lessons is solely at the discretion of the Riding School in consultation with the Instructors and parents/riders.  ALL RIDERS start in private lessons.
