We are a
British Horse Society Approved Riding
and Training Centre - All BHS Approved
Establishments are inspected at least once a year and establishments only
pass if they have met the most stringent standards of instruction, safety
and horse care. The British
Horse Society Examinations are a progressive series of recognised industry
qualifications.

Courses below:
Following
our ‘Where to Train’ Inspection by the British Horse Society we received a report from Sue Payne (FBHS & Chief Examiner),
which included the following:
‘The family run centre has very good standards in every aspect.
The standards are very well confirmed over many years. This
shows in the very good attitude of the staff and the length of time
that they stay. The tack and tack room organisation is to die
for. All tack gleaming, supple and of good quality.
This Centre has a very good range of horses. All the horses
seen today looked very well and happy. Those seen in work were
suitable for training riders to Stage III+. I have the highest
regard for this
Centre'

F.B.H.S
& Chief Examiner

British
Horse Society: Stage I – Riding
Two
Hour Riding Session
This
course will help prepare you for the first of the professional
qualifications. Although we do take great pride in seeing our
pupils succeed under exam conditions and gain recognised
qualifications, some of our clients choose not to take the exam at
the end of the Course, they’re just happy with their new-found
knowledge and keen to put it into practice. We run a twelve-week
course divided into two six-week terms, with a one-week mid-term
break. The Course will cover riding in a correct, balanced position
in walk, trot and canter and riding without stirrups in walk and
trot. You will be taught to recognise correct trot diagonals and
canter leads and to ride simple school movements accurately. It
will also include working over poles in jumping position in walk and
trot. |
