Day One
Arrive today and settle into your accommodation. We have two itineraries to choose from, the beginner/refresher programme right here, or the advanced programme that follows this one. Riding can start today if you arrive by lunchtime, if you can only arrive late we can offer the riding over just 2 days.
Beginners/Refreshers start with an introductory lesson this afternoon, if time allows we can arrange a trek out after your lesson along the local bridle paths in the beautiful countryside that surrounds the stables.
Day Two
After breakfast you will take the short drive back to the riding stables. This morning you will have 2 more sessions of instruction (with a rest in between to give you time to get your breath back!) We will aim to teach you how to understand the motion of your horse and to develop your initial balance preparing you for your equitation instruction. After lunch you will have a one hour stable management lesson that will teach you how to care for and handle your horse safely.
Day Three
After breakfast in the hotel you will be back at the stables once more for your final lesson - this is a great programme to move you closer to becoming a confident horse rider!
Beginner/Refresher Package price of £395pp in shared twin includes:
• 2 nights B&B accommodation
• Mix of 5 lessons and hacks out and a stable management session
For those travelling alone the cost is £495pp for a double room for single occupancy in the 2 star hotel or £550 pp in the 4 star hotel.
