At our flagship centre in Leeds, children learn all aspects of horsemanship and horse care, in an holistic and ethical way.


Children learn:

• to communicate with a pony on the ground
• co-ordination, confidence and balance in the saddle
• horse care from the pony's perspective, understanding what a pony needs and how to care for them

To get the most out of their lessons, children ride one-to-one with an instructor in private lessons to begin with. This gives them the time, space and support they need to develop the foundation skills required to ride effectively and in harmony with their pony. When children are fully independent and balanced, they can join a semi-private or shared lesson. We do not offer large group lessons as we prioritise your child's learning and safety. All riding school lessons follow the structure of the online club, and students are asked to look at and work through badges at home between their lessons to support their learning to gain a fully holistic horsemanship education.

We offer:

• one-to-one and shared riding and horsemanship lessons
  
• holistic pony care and groundwork lessons
  
• fun and educational holiday activities

Please click the ‘Book Now’ button below to book a one-off lesson or holiday activity.

We do currently have a waiting list for riders who would like a regular lesson slot. After your initial lesson, please contact the office to be added to the waiting list. One of the requirements to be added to the waiting list is to be a member of the online club, which you can join at: www.thinklikeaponyclub.co.uk

Whilst waiting for a regular slot, please do continue to check the online system for one-off lessons which are made available whenever a regular student can’t attend their slot.
