Independent Horse - Holiday Courses

What do our riding courses offer? We offer a totally different riding experience in any number of disciplines. These include:

  • Extreme or Trick riding
  • Medieval Jousting skills
  • Western riding
  • Classical seat
  • Horse confidence

You can choose any of the above skills to work on during your stay and you can even mix and match to suit your individual needs.

 

Our groups on the courses will be no bigger than four, allowing you plenty of opportunity for one to one lessons with the highest quality of instruction

This is not the case when referring to the stag and hen parties but they do not encroach on the weekly courses in anyway.

EXTREME TRICK RIDING

You will start off on one of our steel horses before advancing on to the horse.
It is also required for the student to do exercises before every session so that the body is warm to prevent injury.
Skills available from single lessons to weekly courses.

With us you can go as far as you like.


JOUSTING SKILLS
We will need to know in advance if you wish to concentrate only on our Jousting Skills courses
This course covers skills such as mounted combat, Riding at the Tilt, (when tow opponents ride at each other with a lance)
and the use of spear, sword and other weapons.

WESTERN RIDING AND USE OF THE CLASSICAL SEAT
If you want to try western riding or learn the
Classical seat as something different
or want to advance your
Reining for the coming season we can help.

 

WHAT IS DIFFERENT TO OTHER RIDING HOLIDAYS?
Along with the courses offered this is not your regular riding holiday as it has been designed so that you don't live and breath horses for the duration of your stay but get to enjoy the other facilities offered by the local area. Which can involve horses if you want.
