Horse Riding

Our approach to horse riding is gentle, progressive and centred around developing a partnership with the horse. All of our riding sessions follow our Holos approach – developing the whole horse-person, not simply teaching skills in the saddle. We offer individual and semi-private sessions for adults and children, with learning tailored to each person’s experience, confidence, needs and goals.

We particularly welcome beginners, novice riders and people returning to horses after time away. We also have extensive experience of working with neurodivergent people and people with a wide range of learning, communication and support needs. Our person-centred approach means that we adapt our sessions to the individual, recognising that everyone has their own strengths, needs and ways of learning.

Riding is only one part of learning. Sessions include developing an understanding of the horse through horse care, groundwork training and learning about equine behaviour and welfare, alongside developing ridden skills. We also recognise that how we manage ourselves – our bodies, emotions, energy and communication – affects the horse and the partnership we develop.

We work at the pace of both horse and rider, building strong foundations rather than rushing through levels. Our aim is to develop confident, capable and thoughtful horsepeople who understand and enjoy the horses they work with.
