WE ARE A COMPETITIVE YARD AS WELL AS A FAMILY YARD. HERE THE WHOLE FAMILY CAN COME AND ENJOY LESSONS IN A FUN AND RELAXED WAY IN A SAFE ENVIRONMENT.

YOU DON’T NEED TO OWN A HORSE TO HAVE LESSONS. WE HAVE FANTASTIC RIDING SCHOOL HORSES AND PONIES, VERY WELL TRAINED FOR THEIR JOB TO TEACH PEOPLE HOW TO RIDE.
