PRIVATE LESSONS

From $100

We offer Private Lessons for riders aged 6 and up, at every riding ability, in two lengths. Each lesson includes 15 minutes to groom and fit a helmet and boots, followed by 30 or 45 minutes of riding in the arena (subject to availability). Private Lessons can be arranged on weekdays and weekends, depending on instructor availability.

Who Private Lessons suit

Private Lessons give you your coach's full attention. They are a great first step for new riders aged 6 and up, a focused way to work on a goal such as rising trot, cantering or your first jump, and the starting point for anyone joining our Semi Private or Group Lessons, so we can see how you ride and place you well.

What happens in a lesson

Every lesson starts with time to get to know your horse while you groom. You then ride with your coach beside you. Beginners learn to steer, stop and rise to the trot. More experienced riders work on position, flatwork, poles and jumping.

Booking

Casual Private Lessons can be booked online. Riding every week? Term riders receive our best rates and keep the same coach and time each week, so call or email the team to set it up. Compare lesson prices on our Pricing page, or meet our coaches.
