Saddle Club 2025
We are passionate to introducing young people to the joys of horse riding and ownership. There is so much more to learn to keep a horse happy and healthy than you get to experience in standard lessons.
With the changes in law and insurance requirements it is no longer possible to have horse enthusiasts simply helping out at their local stables to learn what they need to know.
So we developed Saddle Club a monthly 3 hour rally where you can come ride, as well as learn all about horse care!
Come and hang out with other horse lovers and learn key horsemanship skills such as leading, groundwork lunging as well as important things like feeding, first aid and paddock maintenance.
Each rally you will also enjoy a ridden session in a group, learning flat work, poles, jumping and dressage. You will also get to meet new friends who share your passion.
So sign up to Saddle Club 2025 today!
Something for everyone
Students will be split into different groups based upon their level of riding. We have classes suitable for beginners right through to more experienced riders.
