Lessons 
We aim to create a happy balance for our horses and enable them to enjoy the work they do. We ensure they have daily turnout as a herd as this time to play, relax and interact is so very important to their state of mind. I also school all our horses and ponies personally, aiming to improve their knowledge base and way of working using Classical tecniques which can benefit any horse, pony and rider!

Classical Riding Lessons

We offer Classical Riding instruction on our or your own horse for every kind of rider. It can help you and any horse you ride!
 
'Classical Riding' is a label given to advanced level of dressage but truely refers to a method of equitation which applies to any form of riding, from happy hacking to competitive showjumping, to yes... dressage, and everything in between!
 
It is less a riding style and more a philosophy. Aiming to understand the horses point of view and use that as a training aid in its own right. And also to work with the horses physiologically to use our anatomy in a way which compliments theirs, and so make life easier for the partnership as a whole!
 
It can sound a little 'hoity toity' or 'airy fairy' or 'too posh for me and my pony'  but this mindset really can strengthen any partnership and bring any goal closer to a reality!
 
Lessons from just £20 on our horses or bring your own to visit!
