Riding is a risk sport - Riding holds a potential danger and all horses may react unpredictably on occasions.
Payment – Advance payment is required to confirm a booking. We accept all credit cards and payment can be made online at the time of booking.
48 hours rescheduling policy – Please remember to reschedule your lesson at least 48 hours beforehand. Full fee is charged for all no-shows or cancellations as all bookings are non-refundable.
Weight limit – Our horses can carry a maximum of 12.5st/80kg.
Minimum age – Children must be over 5 years old to start riding lessons with us however are welcome to join us for our Early Years activities
On arrival – Clients are advised to arrive at least 10 minutes before the start of their lesson. Please report to Reception whether you come as a visitor or a rider. We welcome all visitors whether accompanying a rider or wanting to have a look around the yard.
Clothing – For your comfort and safety, we recommend you wear jodhpurs, jeans or trousers, a top with sleeves and for riding you need boots/shoes with a bit of a heel. Trainers are fine in the yard but not for riding. We have hats and boots in a range of sizes available to hire for a £2 fee.
Riding hats – Hats to current standards (PAS 015 – 1998 or 2011; VG1 01.040) must be worn and securely fastened at all times when mounted.
Leading fee – If one of our helpers leads your horse/pony during the lesson, then please remember to pay them a leading fee: £2/half hour and £3/hour.
Requesting horses/ponies – Please understand that it is impossible for us to always mount riders on their preferred horse/pony. For riders to improve their ability, they must ride a selection of horses/ponies recommended by the instructor.
Weather policy - Riding is an all weather sport but on Met Office Red Alert for our area, we may decide to close the riding school and we will notify you of such closure in advance of your lesson. On Met Office Yellow/Amber Alert for our area, we take a decision on safety on the day (rain is rarely an issue; wind, direction and type can be more problematic and challenging) and we will take the opportunity to run Riding Theory & Horsemanship for all students which is a bonus for all concerned. Keep an eye on the weather forecast ahead of your lesson, and remember you can reschedule, as usual, outside the 48 hour no rescheduling Horse Welfare Window, with no penalty.
All riders need to be registered before enjoying their first lesson with us:
