Which Lesson Should You Book?

We cater to riders of all ages, from 4 years old upwards. Here's how to choose the right lesson for you:

For Children:

• Beginners/Returners: If your child is a beginner or has not ridden in a while, we recommend booking a group. These are titled Level 1 Beginner Lesson. They're 30-minute sessions and focus on building confidence and teaching the basics from the very start, up to riding independently.
• Experienced Riders: Children who are comfortable in walk, trot, and canter independently can book a private lesson. This allows us to assess their ability and place them in a suitable group for future lessons.

For Adults:

• Beginner Riders: Please book a private lesson to start with. We offer 1 hour 15-minute sessions (45 minutes of riding with 15 minutes for tacking up and untacking) or 30-minute riding-only lessons. 
• Experienced Riders: If you're an experienced rider, a private lesson will allow us to assess your abilities and update your grade, unlocking access to more advanced lessons in the future. Check out the page which explains our grading system for more information.

If you’re unsure about which lesson to book, or if you’d like to speak to someone directly, please text Katie on 07980007943 with your name, rider level, and lesson type.
