COVID-19
We are now taking small groups and private lessons following Government guidelines. Initially this is for riders who are able to mount without assistance and adjust their own stirrups and girth. We are also able to hack in a small group. We are not able to lead beginners due to the 2m distance rule, but we are allowing a parent to help their child on and lead the pony during the lesson. For parents leading their child's pony, please remember to wear suitable footwear, even if you are just helping them on. A brief induction on mounting and leading will be carried out at the time. At this present time we are not allowing visitors to the yard or other family members or friends to accompany riders to riding lessons. Stay safe, stay alert.

We offer riding lessons in flatwork or jumping in our floodlit all-weather 40m x 20m arenas. In the summer we ride in our fields and use a variety of cross country jumps. Hacking is on quiet country lanes and bridlepaths.

ADULTS usually ride in private lessons (half hour or three-quarters hour) but we are able to accommodate small groups. We frequently run the popular 'Take Back the Reins' courses offering a riding lesson and the chance to groom and tack up your horse. During the course we usually include a hack and a session on how to lunge. These courses are aimed at new and lapsed riders who wish to get back into riding, with the emphasis on friendly informal sessions. There is, however, a weight limit of 12 stone (76 kg) for all riders.

CHILDREN usually ride in group lessons although some private lessons are available. There is no minimum age so young children can start when they are keen to. Our tiny tot/lead rein lesson is 20mins. (Sometimes we ask parents to lead the pony if we are short of leaders). Beginner riders lead rein lesson and for those just off the leading rein is 20 mins. Standard group lessons are 45mins and private lessons are 30mins or 45mins.
