Whether youβre a total beginner, returning after time away, or working towards specific goals β we offer a calm, supportive space for adults aged 18+ to build confidence, skills, and enjoyment with horses.
Our experienced staff and kind horses help create a relaxed and welcoming environment for every rider.
All new adult riders must complete an Assessment and Induction before joining a group or booking a hack.
These sessions ensure youβre paired with the right horse and guided toward the most suitable sessions for your needs.
