Our Courses
We ride for many reasons with fun and relaxation high on the list so our lessons give a positive, enjoyable experience. Whatever your standard or aims our courses will enhance your everyday riding experience and help you overcome problems that may have held you back.
In addition to the mounted work we use a two fold process to achieve this:
Training experience
We involve the riders in the daily training of our horses to give them a deeper understanding of training methods and the horses reactions. We have a range of horses at different levels with different issues so students will have the opportunity to work with all our horses, where appropriate. This helps the students expand her knowledge and see how our unique energy affects the horse in such subtle ways we may not even be aware of it.
Body awareness
Our ability to ride effectively and sympathetically is directly related to our control over our own bodies as well as our emotions so personal development can go hand in hand with improving our riding. These classes are intended to help unblock ingrained responses and thus create a deeper connection between the horse and rider . These sessions consist of a combination of bioenergetics, yoga and breathing
exercises.
Through the training and body awareness sessions we focus on communication, balance, energy, and lightness, to improve your riding and training skills
We recommend that anyone riding with us will benefit from some body awareness sessions. The combination complements perfectly and we have found it gives people a whole new insight into their own body which is beneficial on and off the horse and especially effective for improving feel and posture thus harmony in the saddle.
Apart from a riding experience we like to think that our visitors can really relax and unwind leaving the stress of life behind to just really live each moment in the company of the horse, allowing him to bring us to now.
