🐴 Angel Riding Centre – Lesson Information 🐴

Welcome!

Whether you’re taking your very first ride or looking to develop your skills, we have lessons suitable for all ages and abilities. Our friendly team is here to make learning to ride enjoyable, safe, and rewarding.

Sessions Available

Perfect for complete beginners or anyone wanting to experience horse riding before committing to regular lessons.

Your session includes:

  • 15 minutes meeting your pony, learning how to groom them and getting to know them.
  • 15 minutes of riding with one of our instructors.

This is a relaxed introduction to both horse care and riding.

 

Private lessons are ideal for riders who would benefit from one-to-one tuition or would like to progress at their own pace.

Your instructor will tailor the lesson specifically to your goals, whether you’re:

  • Learning the basics
  • Improving your confidence
  • Working towards exams or competitions
  • Developing specific riding skills

Lead rein groups are designed for our youngest or least experienced riders who still require a leader to walk alongside their pony.

These fun, supportive sessions focus on:

  • Building confidence
  • Learning the basics of riding
  • Developing balance and control
  • Enjoying riding in a small group environment

Please note: Leaders are only available on Saturdays. If your child requires their pony to be led, please book a Saturday lesson.

Our Pony Club group lessons are for riders who can ride more independently and are grouped by ability to ensure everyone gets the most from their lesson.

Groups are split into:

  • Level 1
  • Level 2
  • Level 3

Your instructor will advise which level is most suitable if you’re unsure.

Pony Club lessons help riders continue to develop their:

  • Position and balance
  • Control and confidence
  • School movements
  • Riding skills and progression


⏰ Lesson Lengths

 

  • Private Lessons: 30 minutes
  • Taster Sessions: 30 minutes
  • Group Lessons: Up to 1 hour

To ensure lessons remain enjoyable and fair for everyone, group lesson lengths depend on the number of riders booked:

  • 2 riders: 30 minutes
  • 3 riders: 45 minutes
  • 4 or more riders: 1 hour

 

🎩 Before Your Lesson

 

  • Please arrive 5–10 minutes before your lesson if you need to hire a riding hat.
  • Wear long trousers or leggings and footwear with a small heel (no trainers).
  • Long hair should be tied back.
  • Please arrive in plenty of time so lessons can start promptly.

 

📅 Booking Information

 

• Lessons must be booked in advance.
• If you’re unsure which lesson is best for you or your child, we’re always happy to help.
• If your child requires a lead rein, please remember to book a Saturday session.

 

We look forward to welcoming you to Angel Riding Centre and helping you enjoy every step of your riding journey!
