NEW - CONFIDENCE FOR KIDS COURSE  Do you have a nervous child who has lost confidence with horses and ponies?  Do you want your child to understand why horses do behaviours and how to prevent it?  Do you want to understand horse and pony training and how important it is for trust and relationship between rider and horse?  Do you want your child to learn how to stay on and worse case scenario know how to fall off safely, know how to deal with spooks, bucks, bolts and also understand why horses may do behaviours in the first place?     

Well come along to our new Confidence for Kids half day course. 
 
We have been asked over the last 14 years of our Rider Confidence course, do we offer this for children and due to the long classroom sessions, rider psychology etc we have said No its only for children 14 years and over. 
But with thought we decided we can offer our Rider Confidence training course for younger children now. 
 
So we will be running a few courses for children only, ages 8yrs to 14 years old. 
 
£150 for the half day course. 
 
Course duration - Approx 3 hrs. 
 
 
We teach in a small group of max 7 children 
 
We are DBS checked.

TESTIMONIALS  
 
 
" If you ride horses, or your children ride, it doesn’t matter what experience you have, five minutes or fifty years riding, this course will be the best money you will ever spend on riding.  
 
Zana and the whole team are super friendly, first class instructors and horse masters. The kids session was absolutely everything I could have wished for and more for my 10 year old daughter, who has experienced some unfortunate falls and a pony collapse. As a result her confidence tanked and she struggled to leave it in the past and move on. She considered quitting riding entirely but she just loves horses too much. In the three hours with the team, my daughter walked out a confident rider and has taken away riding skills and advice that will last a lifetime.  
 
Zana and the team have put back the joy in my daughter’s riding! The very next day my daughter was doing a beginners gymkhana games session. During the warm up we practised grabbing the balance strap, martingale neck strap, along with losing and finding her stirrups. Then during the egg and spoon race one of the riding school ponies next to my daughter did a small rear into a buck, the rider fell off and the pony subsequently bolted 4 laps past my daughters pony.  
 
Thanks to Zana, the first thing we did was shout for my daughter to grab her balance strap and drop the spoon in case her pony bolted too. Thankfully he didn’t bolt, but if he had, she was prepared. Even being a horsey parent only watching the session, it has equipped me with knowledge which I used within 24 hours of attending the course.  
 
From a professional point of view, having worked in the emergency ambulance service as an EMT, and as a qualified Community First Responder and First Aid Trainer, if you ride horses, you should do this course to try and reduce the risk of you having a serious medical injury from horse riding. And yes I will be booking on to the adult course, because I want to rear on Bullseye!!”  
Thank you all
