Olivia works regularly with our horses to exercise and school them. 🐎🐎🐎Regular schooling by our instructors helps improve and build our herds strength and fitness, it re affirms good habits for the horses and ponies to work to and helps our instructors focus in on how well our horses are listening to correct aids and prompts to in turn help our riders using these aids within their lessons. We think Olivia has a soft spot for Bam… anyone else? 😀
Our group lessons run every Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday & Saturday and are suitable for all abilities of riders aged four upwards! Please send us a direct message to enquire about reserving a lesson for your child. Prices start from £20 for a 30 minute group lesson 🐎🐎🐎
We all know that feeling in your legs when you have to keep the jumping position… however, it’s such a good exercise for all riders to strengthen their leg work, practise a light seat position and also for practising their core balance. 💪🐎💪However… we still wince when the instructors ask us for no stirrups ha ha!! We promise it is to aid progress 😉

Horses Playfighting
We are fascinated when we watch our herd play fight and interact with each other in their fields... Woody and Zeb often display these behaviours together! We researched a little more into the play fighting behaviours we see (particularly from our boys) and found this really interesting article we thought might make an interesting read! 📖🐎Why do horses play?Scientists understand that play is vital to all young animals. The games young animals play is teaching them skills they may need later in life. When the animals play these games, it releases chemicals in their brain, so as they play the same games over and over again, they are hardwiring these behaviours. This is no different in horses.When horses play fight, the whole aim of the game is to get the other one to move. This play fighting also helps them learn vital social cues from other members of the herd.🐎Do different horses play differently?Research has found that male and female horses play the same games. But that males play more than females. As they get older, most females stop playing, or play much less. Whereas males continue to play, just less often. This makes sense as in a herd, males will have to fight for dominance. So the more the play these behaviours, the more practice they have.🐎Herd LifeOverall it seems that the main reason horses play is to help them understand herd life. Whether it be learning the signs to live alongside other horses in the herd or play fighting to learn how to defend your herd against another horse. It also seems that males are more likely to show play fighting behaviours than females.Source: Equipepper.
🐎Bounce Grid Exercises in a Private Lesson!In Sienna’s private lesson, Julie set up a small bounce grid as a focus to work on Sienna’s core strength, seat and balance.Bounce grids help to improve our ponies footwork and jumping technique which keeps them supple and fit while also allowing the rider to focus on their position. This kind of set up is a great exercise for our riders to maintain correct position and balance… while having so much fun!!We are all so proud of Sienna’s riding journey, she has recently progressed to a Grade 5 after much hard work and determination, well done Sienna!
