BEGINERS AND AMATEURS

We educate riders on learning on how to sit on the horses in a neutral classical position, to allow for balance and security for the rider on the back of the horse, aiding the horse to be able to carry the weight of the rider in a healthy and safe way.

We also share our knowledge in horse behaviour and biomechanics with the 20 years of experience and continuous learning we have gained under our belts to help you build a healthy and sound relationship with horses.

Our lessons are up to a maximum of two people so we can ensure the best teaching environment and quality learning.
