Riding School
Riding Levels
Riding has its own language, as has many sports. It is important to learn the phrases given by the instructors, so in group lessons as you progress, everyone should understand what they are supposed to do and don’t do. Not to worry though, it will all become clear as you start to learn and relax on the horse. A relaxed rider learns a lot quicker; and we cater for the complete beginner of any age, up to the more experienced showjumping level.
Please call the office for more information on the best way forward for you.
The Beginner
The beginner rider will start off slowly, learning the basics of steering, walking, trotting and cantering. The rider will improve position and balance at all three speeds.
The Novice
The novice rider will be capable and confident of the above and will be starting to learn to jump small fences, work without stirrups and be able to ride simple school movements all on their own
The Intermediate
The Intermediate rider will start to learn to jump a course of small fences, learn to understand the balance of a horse, and be able to ride more complex and difficult school movements.
The Experienced
Will be able to ride at all speeds safely, complete a course of jumps at a competition level, understand in detail about the horse and how to obtain and maintain good results.
New Rider Registration
Horses can be unpredictable, riding carries risks. On arrival riders will be asked to complete a "Rider Registration Form" to confirm their level of riding ability and experience and to acknowledge the terms and conditions of the riding school. This will also help us to select the right horse for the rider. The form is available here to download for you to fill in in order save time at the stables.
