Group Days provide
An opportunity to learn how to understand and handle horses
Horses communicate with
body language and an insight into the psychology of the horse allows the handler
to progress with the horses training in a safe and easy way.
The introduction will
cover safety in the stables and around horses, the horse’s natural instincts and
how they apply to handling.
Care-cleanliness of the horse and stables and preparation
of the horses for riding with regard to maintaining the welfare of the horses and
promoting health and safety for the horse and rider.
Students will be able to handle
the horses and ponies.
Grooming, handling, feeding, sizes, colours, types and characteristics
are all covered with most of the instruction taking a practical hands on approach
where possible.
Fitting the saddle and bridle for riding and care of the horse and
equipment after riding.
Riding covers basic skills enabling the student to ride a
quiet horse in a controlled situation in walk and trot.
The mounted instruction takes
place in the indoor school in the morning and if the weather allows the afternoon
session will be a ride out learning about riding and road safety or a nature trail
on the country lanes or river banks.
Riders can bring a packed lunch or lunch can
be provided. If you would like a quote - day sessions start from £20 per rider, please
