Lessons
One to One Tuition
An initial assessment allows the opportunity to discuss the following:-
- Background
- Progress to date
- Goals and aspirations for the future
A tailor made programme is then designed to suit the individual requirements of both horse and rider. This is usually a series of short term goals leading ultimately to your long term goal.
Cost £32 *
Semi –Private Lessons
Great fun for those of you who are perhaps not fit enough to work on your own! You may enjoy the company of a friend to give you more confidence.
This may be the time to work over poles or small jumps to add variety in the work and it also works out more affordable if you are on a limited budget.
Cost £20 each *
Group Lessons – Usually four in a group
Children love to work in a group of friends. It is more fun and builds confidence as they watch each other. It is a good time to introduce new ponies to others before a show, and a good time for mums or dads to catch up.
This is also an ideal way to have a jumping lesson with friends.
Cost £12 each *
