Groundwork/Trick training part:
Duration: 15 minutes
In-hand only
Tricks are dependant on horses/session but will include starting 1 new trick, which could be pedestal/starting the balance board, smile, twirl, mounting block training, picking objects up, yoga movements needed to start bowing (eg mountain goat, park out), magnet (backing from behind), crunches, target training etc.
Young horse session information:
Duration - 30 minutes
Group size - 2
In-hand only
Suitable for - Horses 4yo and under only (for older horses, please book on the group obstacle sessions)
Aim - For young horses to have a simple quiet outing in a small group of horse's similar. 'You do you' basically - come as you are and bring your groundwork from home out to try in a new place.
Includes: Not a taught lesson but just a hired 'playground' to gradually and safely let them explore with no pressure and you just 'pick and choose' what you feel they capable of doing. Welcome to do as much or as little as you need - whether that be just groundwork in a new environment or making use of the obstacles set out. No waiting around like in a formal lesson, you can stay for the full 30 minutes or finish before that whenever you want to which is much more productive mentally for younger horses. Suitable for people confident with their groundwork and just wanting to have a low pressure environment to bring their youngsters elsewhere.
Private sessions
40 minute private session to work on a specific area you wish to focus on
This could be obstacles, groundwork/trick training, balance boards or 'helpful horse' training such as learning the foundations to open gates safely or parking up the mounting block or just to focus on an unconfident area. Please specify when booking what your aim is.
These are charged at a base private lesson price of £45, plus the arena hire charged by each venue.
Times are sorted nearer the date but as a rough guide - obstacle sessions start in the morning, young horse sessions are over lunchtime/early afternoon, obstacle sessions continue in the afternoon and private sessions are normally at the end of the day or very start of the day. Sessions will run from 10am-3pm generally.
