XC In-Hand and/or Ridden
Jumps range from 1ft to 3’7 with a wide range of different style jumps, steps and ditches.
Groups will be a maximum of 4 at £47.50 per person which includes arena hire (£25 per horse) for approx. 1.5hrs.
I’m happy to teach one to ones or other numbers too, just message me for pricing details.
Payment in advance secures booking.
Benefits of xc in-hand:
✳️ an excellent way to build confidence, skill, balance and knowledge whilst allowing you as a rider to see how your horse jumps and what they focus on and if they don’t jump, why.
✳️ when they have a case of the sillies no one has to ride it out (and they are not dealing with a rider trying to stay on)
✳️ teaches the horse how to handle its body before doing things under saddle.
✳️ horses usually love it and figure things out themselves without a rider dictating and getting left behind or in their way.
💡 they experience that they don't have to RUN at a fence.
✳️ They get to work out the footwork, and gain confidence in themselves.
💡 If your horse is unsure about a bank or water, they can gain lots of confidence by watching their human negotiate the scary thing first.
🥳 It's also just plain fun! The running around means we can eat more cake and drink more wine/gin 🤣
