We also carry out RDA proficiency awards which can include horse care and riding alongside our ASDAN awards.
Private Sessions
Our private sessions allow goal orientated lessons individually tailored to each participant. These sessions can be in any of our activities or a mixture of all.
Horse Agility
Alongside riding we offer our horse agility sessions where we learn to lead and do ground work with the horses. This helps participants learn how to manage, control and build a rapport with our horses. Its also great for fitness and communication. These sessions can be done individually or as groups.
Stable Management
In these sessions we learn about looking after horses. How we care for them, grooming, learning how to tack them up, just about everything to do with our horses. If you like the agricultural side we can learn about the land and how we care for it, so it in turn, can care for our horses.
Like all our sessions we can work towards goals and badges which can be tailored for children and adults a like. These sessions work well with both riding and agility as the participants learn how to prepare their horses ready to work.
What our riders family's say
James has always been around horses however only fairly recently became interested in riding through the discovery of the RDA.
James started to ride a little to gain confidence then early this year he was asked to read Clare Balding’s latest book - The Racehorse who could Dance. It was evident as we were reading the book James was beginning to think that yes - maybe he could achieve such things and possibly one day he could also reach the nationals at Hartpury just as the characters in the book did.
James is Autistic, has dyspraxia and sensory processing disorder. He needs help with core strength, coordination, planning and processing.
Watching James ride with Alison and having Warrick on-hand is just fantastic. Alison could see straight away the areas where James needs a little extra help and the lessons are planned accordingly. The lessons are fun, engaging, progressive and most importantly James really enjoys them - it’s a pure delight as a parent to watch and be part of.
