Learn the basics to riding within 1 hour $100
Getting the foundation right leads to confidence and freedom
A class for Beginner riders ages 5yrs to 10yrs. Ideal for children who know little or nothing about ponies or a nervous rider. Riders are well supervised and beginning on a lead-rein with a Professional Riding Instructor.
Laying the foundation correctly is so important to us, in turn this empowers children to become Empathetic Balanced Riders.
At our Boutique Riding Premises, we offer a beautiful quiet country environment. Our ponies, saddlery, and property are to the highest standards.
The highest pony is 13.1hh we concentrate on keeping pony heights to a minimum so not to over-horse your child.
We love teaching small groups of children, so they gain the utmost knowledge and experience in the short time they are with us.
Your child will learn the importance of
- Sitting correctly to achieve a balanced position
- Important first aids to Halt, Walk, Trot
- How to ask the pony to walk on, trot on, halt and turn the pony
- Communicating to the pony through their mind
- Beginning of Rise to the Trot
Most children will be able to 'Rise to the trot' within this lesson.
Our focus is on achieving an Empathetic Balanced Rider, nurturing children while they are developing empathy, respect, gratitude and love towards ponies. We take care in encouraging but not over facing your child.
Professional Riding Instruction
Safety and fun is our highest priority for the children and our ponies.
"I like all the little tips you give us Kathryn. It helps us to be effective riders and your ponies listen to us. It is so different from other places we have ridden, where you are told to get on and go. Your ponies have nice soft mouths too and are much easier to stop."
