Lunge Lessons - 30 minutes |
A safe way to introduce the beginner to the art of riding where the instructor maintains contact with the horse on a lunge line. Early lessons concentrate on rider balance, co-ordination and riding aids. Confident rising and sitting trot must be reached before the client rides independent of the lunge.
An ideal way for experienced riders to "fine tune" their equestrian skills, sorting out any bad habits, improving suppleness and depth of seat

Private Lessons - 30 minutes - 1 hour |
Perfect for the novice rider just off the lunge and in preparation for joining group lessons. Also designed for the more advanced client whose own needs and requirements determine the content of the lesson.

Group Lessons - 1 hour |
For the novice rider these are a natural progression once the client rides confidently at walk, trot and canter. It gives the opportunity to ride a one hour session alongside other horses and riders. For the more advanced rider the classes cover working the horses in lateral movements, i.e. leg yield, shoulder-in etc. they also develop the rider's understanding of sending the horse from leg to hand and thus achieving a better self-carriage from the horse. For those interested, these lessons also cover show-jumping both for the novice and more experienced rider.

| For Young Children (3yrs - 8yrs) |
Pony leads to Richmond Park are initially offered to small children to start them off on their equestrian career. Once confidence and balance is established children from 5 yrs onwards are recommended to have some lead-rein lessons which are more formal and introduce them to steering and basic skills required for riding in an arena.
