πŸ’™βš–οΈPlease read βš–οΈπŸ’™ borrowed from another school such a great read! πŸ’–

Here at Pakefield riding school we have a maximum weight limit of 15 stone, you must update your weight on our system at least twice throughout the year, we have weighing scales in the office for you to use please understand that it’s you full clothed when weighing yourself 🀣

When calling to book again please do have the correct weighs fully clothed wrote down otherwise it makes our system alot harder to find extra horses on the day!

Due to the welfare of our horses we must ensure riders are the correct weight before booking lessons with us. However horse riding is also a great way to lose a few pounds.

Horse riding is hard work and a great form of exercise although an overweight rider must consider losing weight to ensure we are not putting extra strain on our horses backs.
Horse riding is the best in my opinion for mental and physical health we want our clients to be involved and hands on as much as possible, we love the clients that come in early to help whatever it might be.
We want all our riders to be fit and healthy when coming to ride here at Pakefield riding school as not only is it great for our horses backs but also you get more from your lessons.

So we have some fields which you can come prior to your lessons and can go walking or a jog if you wish there's always the woods and beach for an extra walk afterwards but did you know you can come to us we have jobs such as poo picking, mucking out, raking the yard, handling, grooming horses the list is endless we want all our riders to be hands on and we are big yard and there is always jobs that need doing so would appreciate help however big or small it might be.
If you wish to come help out and want some advice health or fitness in horse riding please speak to your riding instructor we can advise you on what’s the best form of exercise to help you on your journey here at Pakefield riding school.

Thank you for your understanding and support from all the horses and ponies at Pakefield riding school πŸ’™

They are never just RIDING SCHOOL PONIES❀️🐴

One day you may move onto bigger, fancier horses, but never forget the school horse who made you, as without them, you wouldn’t be able to ride anything at all.

The patient soul that tolerated your bouncing while you figured out how to sit the trot.

The kind mare that didn’t walk off when you stumbled up the mounting block, trying to get your foot in the stirrup.

The sweet gelding that picked up the trot even though your body was telling him to do the exact opposite.

The saintly angel that never spooked, which was a dam good thing because your balance was precarious at best.

Too often we forget where we came from. We move on to the next chapter in our lives and say, β€œOh my gosh, I’m learning so much! I’m going so far! I could never do this kind of thing on that old school horse!”

But infact you could, you were just not ready to do all these things back then.

But that school horse gave you the confidence to move forward. That school horse took care of you in all respects and allowed you to take the time you needed to find your way. You couldn’t have become the rider you are today without that riding school horse, always remember to love them unconditionally for our riding school horses are what help start your dream, make dreams come true and get you ready for those bigger dreams 🐴

Very much loved beautiful mare that is retiring from work and is looking for a forever knowledgeable home to be a companion.

She is a super nature and so well mannered and very friendly.

** From Monday the 4th March **

Unfortunately due to wages, hay, straw, insurance, feed increase we have had to up our prices.

We have tried to keep them as low as possible.

We value everyone's support & are very grateful to be able to continue teaching people and enjoying our amazing beach.

We hope everyone understands this increase & can continue to enjoy the sport as much as we like!!

Pakefield Team!
