Our Teen & Adult Group Lesson Courses are designed for riders who want to build confidence, skill, and understanding in a relaxed, structured environment. Whether you’re new to riding, returning after time away, or developing your existing skills, our courses focus on real, measurable progress — without tests or pressure.
Lessons run in 8-week courses, giving you consistency with your coach, your horse, and your group. You’ll stay with the same small team throughout each block, building trust and confidence as your skills develop.
You don’t need to choose a topic — every course covers all key areas of riding, including:
Flatwork and rider position
Polework and coordination
Jumping technique and confidence
Riding out safely
Rider fitness and body awareness
Each course forms part of a long-term pathway. Most riders take around one full year to complete each BHS Challenge Award level (Bronze, Silver, Gold, or Platinum).
Our courses follow the British Horse Society (BHS) Challenge Awards — a recreational, logbook-style programme that celebrates your progress and helps you learn in a structured but enjoyable way.
There are no tests or exams — your achievements are recorded through experience, discussion, and practical learning during your lessons.
Each level includes:
4 logbooks, one for each key area: Riding Flat, Riding Jump, Riding Fit, and Riding Out Safely
A certificate awarded on completion of each logbook
Once all four logbooks are complete, you’ll receive your BHS Challenge Award badge
The Challenge Awards are ideal for recreational riders, while also offering a direct entry route into BHS professional qualifications if you ever wish to take your learning further.
Enrolment Fee: £30 per level (Bronze → Platinum)
The About the Rider badge helps you reflect on your journey and recognise your growth as a rider.
You’ll build a short rider logbook that includes:
Your personal goals and milestones
Coach feedback and focus points
Simple exercises to support strength, balance, and confidence
Your logbook also acts as a handy reference guide — somewhere to look back and refresh on topics covered, review your coach feedback, and see how far you’ve come.
This section helps you understand the bigger picture: how your mindset, knowledge, and physical skills develop together throughout each level.
