Stjörnuklúbbur fyrir vana krakka á aldrinum 12-19 ára!

Stjörnuklúbbur fyrir 12-16 ára! Hefst 19. september!
Námskeið fyrir þá sem hafa mjög mikla reynslu af hestamennsku, hafa lokið í Reiðklúbb hjá Íshestum og stundað útreiðar þar sjálfstætt með góðum árangri. (eða hafa aðra sambærilega reynslu)

Nemendur þurfa að vera mjög öruggir og óhræddir í allri umgengni við hesta, vera alveg sjálfbjarga með að leggja á sjálfir þ.e. beisla, festa múl og leggja hnakk á hestinn sinn og vanir að ríða allar gangtegundir nema skeið. Nemendur þurfa að komast sjálfir á bak án aðstoðar.

Nemendur fara í útreiðartúra í öllum veðrum og vindum og fá að prófa mismunandi hesta til að auka reynslu til útreiða.

Nemendur munu ríða út í litlum hópum með öðrum nemendum og þá án leiðbeinanda.
