Holistic Riding School

"My child's confidence and horsemanship skills have flourished. Not only are they achieving their ridden goals, but they are also learning to work in true harmony with the horses. It's been amazing to see how their understanding and connection with the horses has deepened, making every ride a partnership, not just a lesson."

Learning to Communicate and Ride in Balance

We believe that riding is more than just learning to sit in the saddle—it’s about developing a partnership with the pony through communication, balance and mutual trust. Our unique approach ensures that children learn to ride with awareness, confidence and an understanding of their pony’s needs. 

Our programme centres on three key areas: 

  • Effective communication on the ground – Understanding a pony’s body language and responding with calm, clear signals. 

  • Balanced and confident riding – Learning to move in harmony with the pony, creating a comfortable and enjoyable experience for both. 

  • Holistic pony care – Developing the knowledge and responsibility to care for ponies in a way that supports their well-being. 

Our lessons are tailored to the individual, ensuring that every child progresses at their own pace in a supportive and encouraging environment. Riders begin with private lessons, allowing them to build strong foundational skills before progressing to semi-private or shared sessions. We do not offer large group lessons. This is because our priority is ensuring every child receives the focused attention they need to develop confidence, independence and a deep connection with their pony. 

What We Offer 

  • One-to-one horsemanship and riding lessons – A personalised approach to learning, ensuring a strong foundation in riding and handling.
