Questions regarding Health and Safety.
All new clients must fill in a Rider Registration form and have an Assessment lesson. This requires contact, medical, emergency contact details, it must be completed by the end of the your first Lesson with us. An instructor will fill in the final section as they will grade you on your current abilities.
This is by no means an exam, it's a Health and Safety requirement.
We keep copies available on the premises, but if you wish to download, print and fill in one before you arrive you can get it here in pdf format. Available on the Left Navigation Bar.

We don't allow children under 4 to ride of any sort.
Age 4: Horse/Pony Rides (led by a handler)
Age 5: Minimum Legal Age for Private Lessons
Age 6: Recommended Minimum Age for Private Lessons
There are 2 reasons we recommend children be aged 6-7 before starting Private Lessons.
1.) The majority of children will have grown to a size where they are physically able to handle a pony.
2.) The teaching won't be wasted, as children who are very young often don't understand anything more than the simplest of instructions, they might not enjoy the experience.
Currently, we enforce a Weight limit of 14 stone.
We will ask your Height and Weight during booking, please don't take offense, it's so we can assign you a suitable horse.
