DESCRIPTION
Join our four-week adult horse riding course that runs throughout the school term all year round! This course caters to a wide range of riders, from complete beginners to parents of riders, those looking to improve their skills or get back in the saddle, and those interested in horsemanship. During each weekly two-hour session you will receive a private riding lesson and be taught about horsemanship, terminology and equipment/tack uses and differences.
Throughout the course, you’ll learn several essential horse riding skills, including how to correctly saddle and tack up a horse, mount and dismount your horse, obtain a safe riding position and maintain correct posture as well as how to groom and care for your horse and read a horse’s body language. The more advanced riders are grouped together and each rider receives a weekly private lesson helping them to progress at a comfortable pace.
For beginners, you will learn how to walk and guide a horse and work your way up to an independent trot and canter when ready, and if you’re an advanced rider, you’ll have the opportunity to build on your existing skill level. Enrol in our adult horse riding course today and become a confident rider while having fun with our experienced instructors. Contact us now to book your spot!
