Holistic Riding School

Learning to Communicate and Ride in Balance

The mental, emotional and physical well-being of both child and pony are at the heart of our holistic riding school in Leeds. Our educational approach and significant investment in the training of our ponies, means that we have incredibly high safety standards and high levels of horse welfare.


This approach is both safe and fun. It can help any child to:

  • learn to communicate with horses
  • ride in balance
  • improve mental and emotional wellbeing


Our method of teaching children fosters empathy, understanding and communication with the horse. This enables young people to excel as horse riders and handlers at the same time as developing important life skills.


All our instructors are extensively trained by Lynn Henry, leader in the fields of teaching children to ride and animal behaviour. They are DBS checked and are trained in safeguarding and first aid.

Contact margot.nillesen@thinklikeapony.co.uk to request that your child is added to the riding school waiting list.
