Give us a ring on 01565 777107 to discuss your requirements and enable us to book you into a suitable lesson.
How much will it cost?
£15 for a group lesson

How long are lessons?
Our lessons are for 30 minutes, we believe you get more riding in one of our 30 minutes small group lessons than 1hr large group lesson.
What do I need to wear?
It is essential that any time you get onto a horse or pony, you wear a Riding Hat that meets the current safety standards. We have a selection of different sizes meeting current regulations if you do not have your own.
Do you hire hats?
NO we don't hire hats; we let you use them for FREE!
You also need to wear Shoes or boots that have a smooth sole and small defined heel. This is so your foot will not get stuck in the stirrup. We regret trainers or Wellingtons are unsuitable.
We recommend that our clients always wear Gloves as these protect your hands from possible blisters and keep your hands warm in winter!
You will need to wear comfortable long trousers - jodhpurs are specially designed for riding, but any comfortable trousers, for instance jogging bottoms will be fine to get you started. Any clothing worn should be suitable for the weather conditions and must be fastened for safety. We recommend that you wear a long sleeved top.
Many riders choose to wear Back Protectors to provide extra protection. They are a must for clients who start jumping.
Do I need personal insurance?
Riding is a Risk Sport and whilst we are totally safety conscious, horses can be unpredictable and we recommend that clients invest in personal accident insurance. For your safety:- We are licensed by Macclesfield Borough Council which involves an annual inspection to ensure that all required safety standards are met.
Will I have a qualified Instructor?
Your instructor will always be suitably trained with the knowledge and experience to teach at the required level.
How old do you need to be to start lessons? Am I too old to start having lessons now?
We teach children from the age of 4 and there is no upper age limit!
Can I buy a voucher to give as a present?

When you come for your first lesson, please arrive 15 minutes early to enable you to be ready to start on time. We make sure you have a hat correctly fitted and that your clothes and boots are suitable. We will also ask you to complete a Client Information Form for our records.
Do you cater for riders with disabilities?
No not at the moment
Do you have a weight limit?
We have a weight limit of 16 stone, as we do not have any horses suitable of carrying any heavier weight. We would ask all our clients to adhere to this as it is to ensure the welfare of our horses.
