This course is suitable for a range of riders; from complete beginner adult riders and parents of riders, to those progressing and improving their skills as well as those looking to get back in the saddle or learn more about horsemanship.
Over the 4-weeks, riders riders will have a weekly 2-hour session. This includes each student riding under one to one instruction from a coach for 30-minutes whilst the other students observe. In addition to 1-hour of group horsemanship instruction.
