Syllabus

Five levels of riding can be achieved, from beginner to advanced. You will be informed of your level of competence and placed into the appropriate group. Monitoring and continuous assessment enables our instructors to keep riders in the correct group, but most importantly a group they are comfortable and confident to progress in. Assessment lessons can be arranged via private, semi-private and group lessons.

Each level consists of adjusting tack, mounting and dismounting (assistance given until competent) The mounting and dismounting procedure is included within the duration of your lesson time.

This syllabus is a very basic guideline, much more will be taught at each level.

Certificates will be awarded on merit for each level obtained.

Our expert team of instructors are constantly assessing your progression and upon competence, your instructor will advise you to move up to the next riding level. It is vital that all the required skills and achievements are successfully completed to a high standard prior to being moved up, because your safety is paramount.
