Adult Learn the Foundations – Wednesday 1:30pm 2:30pm

Adult Learn the Foundations – Term 1

Join our supportive and confidence-building Adult Learn the Foundations program.
This 10-week block course is designed for adult riders who are new to riding or returning after time away and are ready to progress independently.

Riders will not be on lead rein and must be comfortable walking independently. 

Each 1-hour lesson builds progressively from week to week, developing balance, control, confidence, and a solid foundation of riding skills on our quiet, experienced school horses.

Suitable for:

• Adult beginner or returning riders

• Riders seeking a structured foundation program

• Nervous riders who are ready to progress independently

• Those comfortable walking unassisted on uneven ground

Important Booking Requirement
