OUR STANDARDS

Horse Welfare

Horse Selection: Our horses are chosen for their friendly, calm nature and interest in people. They’re experienced, gentle, and adjust easily to each rider, making them excellent teachers.
Horse Education: We school our horses weekly to keep them engaged, prevent bad habits, and monitor their health. Our coaches observe their movement closely. Where needed we seek the services of professionals such as equine chiropractors, physiotherapists or specialist equine veterinarians .
Variety & Routine: Along with schooling, our horses enjoy a range of enrichment activities and maintain a consistent routine, ensuring they feel safe and confident.
Our horses live on pasture in a herd so that they can form a social group. If a horse is in a stable or yard, it’s so that we can monitor them or provide specific treatment.
They receive high-quality feed appropriate for their body type and work.
Our farrier visits every 6 weeks, and more often if necessary.
Our horses work a maximum of two 60-minute lessons a day, have Mondays off, and take additional breaks throughout the year.

We support our riders to groom and check our horses before and after each lesson to ensure both safety and comfort.
Our tack is clean and well-maintained and fitted to ensure comfort for both horse and rider. All our equipment is regularly inspected for safety.
Safety is our top priority. All staff and riders wear helmets and boots around horses, and riders are trained in safe handling techniques. We’re committed to minimising risk, both on the ground and under saddle.
Our riding spaces are carefully maintained and inspected regularly. Spectators are seated in safe areas to avoid any potential hazards.

We use a variety of teaching techniques to cater to a range of learning styles. Lessons are flexible and adapted to suit the rider’s and horse’s capacity and ability on any given day.
We have 5 defined levels for beginner riders, with clear milestones to track progress. For more experienced riders, we offer individual lessons, group sessions, and the opportunity to explore our show jumps, canter track, and working equitation course.
Our coaches are skilled, intuitive, and always supportive. We believe learning is collaborative . Your goals are our priority, and we’re here to ensure your riding journey is rewarding and enjoyable.
