The table below shows the regular sessions 2012. Apart from the Sunday morning children's sessions all lessons must be booked in advance. There are some spaces available on some of these sessions so please ask if you wish to join any of them. New group lessons will be started as demand warrants so please call if you would like to ride regularly at any other times or to find out what is currently available.

Other lessons can be booked on an ad hoc basis by arrangement by phone. Private and Semi private lessons or hacks can be booked at your convenience subject to an Instructor being available. However please note that at weekends we cannot guarantee private or semi private lessons although we will try.

The adult evening lessons are mainly private or semi- private lessons lasting an hour or half an hour subject to demand and can be booked up to 8.30pm.
The PRT Sessions are for riders who want to learn both riding and stable management and gain recognised qualifications. The progressive Rider Test syllabus is set by the BHS and runs from test 1 to test 6 with an adult and a junior version. Certificates are given at each stage following a test by an outside examiner held at the Riding School. The children's tests are in two parts Equitation and Stable Management whereas the adult tests are combined. These tests are particularly suitable for anyone wanting to take their regular riding lessons further. The adult Tests 1 - 6 are equivalent to BHS Stage 1 and entitle the holder to go onto BHS Stage 2 without needing to take BHS stage 1.
The Sunday morning sessions for preschool and under 8s are un-booked half hour sessions and parents should be prepared to lead their child if necessary. The sessions start at 9am and riders must arrive by 10.30 am (11.30am after 1st November) if they want to ride. However the sessions are on a first come first served basis so you should be prepared to wait for the next available half hour session at busy times. Children should wear trousers and a boot or a shoe with a small heel. Although hats and boots will be provided if required. The Sunday sessions can be used as a taster session for older children as a one off but they will learn more from being with their own age group.
Special activities are run during the school holidays for Children and the next holidays activities are shown on the website sperately. Bookings are now being taken for these events.
