We do ask where possible that you assist in the aftercare of your horse or pony. This helps you to develop a bond with the horse and develop your equine husbandry skills.
We run regular training sessions to assist with this; ask in the office for the next dates.

This programme has been developed to give young adults from 14-17 years the key skills and experience required to work on an equine yard.
The sessions are aimed at working towards an official college programme, including duties and a lecture. Students who are able to ride at a walk and trot level also ride in a group in the session. Alternatively, private sessions can be arranged if needed.
CLTH is delivered on a national scale through selected BHS Approved Centres. Participants are quickly discovering the transformative power of working with horses, combined with a focus on developing key skills that they can use throughout their lives. It has led to increased confidence and self-esteem, as well as lasting friendships – both human and equine!
£32 per session (cost covers group ride depending on ability)
