Child Riding LessonList Item 4
It's not just about riding!
Children learn so much more when they have the opportunity to interact with horses.
Horse riding is a rare sport as it requires the rider to learn to work in partnership with another, rather large, living being.
Our riding lessons focus on building skills and confidence as both qualities work together to create a great rider.
We have many amazing school horses available for lessons or you are welcome to bring your horse.
