🐴 ADULT SCHOOLMASTER LESSONS 🐴

I am so excited to be able to offer something we have had so many requests for! These lessons will be given on the wonderful ‘Noddy’. He is a gentle, kind, forgiving horse with all the buttons for riders to start advancing from your typical ‘riding school horse’. He has competed up to 1m show jumping and knows all the basic lateral work with an established flying change. These lessons are a great opportunity to get a feel of a more advanced horse and moves, whilst still being on a safe horse who will forgive mistakes.

These lessons will take place in the daytime, with currently only two slots available at 2pm on a Tuesday and Wednesday. Riders for these lessons must be established, balanced and confident in all three paces. They can be either flat or jump lessons or a mixture of both. There is a weight limit (and I HATE doing this, but Noddy is so precious to me his welfare must come first) of 80kg fully dressed to ride. Please be truthful about this.

If you are interested in booking either of these slots (ideally they will be booked on a weekly basis rather than one offs) please get in touch via email [email protected] with your riding experience and if possible any videos you have of you riding.

This is a great opportunity for someone to learn from one of the best school masters out there. Noddy is my para horse and has won back to back RDA national titles and a British Showjumping national para title as well- he really is my pride and joy.

The cost is £55 for 40 minutes, fully insured, qualified and licensed.

We get a lot of enquiries for after school club, which we currently just don’t have the hours to run alongside riding lessons. However; would there be interest in an online club? I would create and share online workbooks and resources working towards achievement badges with a weekly zoom group call for the children to chat about what they have learnt and all things ponies! Medals, certificates and rosettes would be sent out in the post. I would probably run two age groups, 4-7 and 8-11? Open to suggestions and if there is demand for an older group beyond that I could run that also. Each badge would be a 4 week term. Let me know if you have a child who may be interested or any suggestions!🦄

Unfortunately, due to a series of bad luck with both myself and the horses picking up some minor injuries we are having to cancel all lessons for the next two weeks. Lessons will resume from Monday 2nd September. I am about to email everyone affected, but thought putting it here could get the word out a little quicker.

Toddler sessions are unaffected and will continue to run during this time, as will the own a pony day on 29th August. This currently has two spaces remaining, these will be filled on a first come first served basis with priority given to children who have had lessons cancelled. Please drop me an email to book a space.
