We have many beginners who want to learn to ride, and suitable horses will
be selected to help you get to grips with the basic riding
techniques. Beginning in a small group, you will be taught initially to
mount, walk, trot and dismount. After a few lessons, cantering is
introduced, along with general information on the correct way to lead and untack
the horse. Plenty of encouragement is usually on hand from fellow
riders!
Yes, we can offer an intensive course of lessons to help get you ready for
your holiday. Click here for some first

Children's lessons are hugely popular, and because of demand, there is a
lower age limit of 6 years on children's rides. We are very happy to
take new riders, and would advise anyone interested to contact us directly and
check the waiting list length.
We have a selection of riding hats of the current safety regulation
requirements in various sizes available to borrow for your lesson.
Do call to book a lesson, or e-mail with your details, and we will try to fit you in as soon as possible
- it can often be at short notice.
Please call on 0845

We are always looking for more volunteer helpers with the Riding for the Disabled
sessions. This involves catching ponies, some grooming, tacking up and
leading ponies on rides. If you are over 16 and think you could spare a few hours per
week on a regular basis, please contact us for further information on 0845
2411386, or e-mail
contact@bradbourne-rda.org
or go to the enquiry form.
You don't need to go out and buy "all the gear" before having a riding
lesson. We would advise wearing boots or shoes with a small heel - though trainers are not suitable. Comfortable
trousers, preferably with a bit of room for movement, and no shorts
please! Riding Hats and Crops are available to borrow free of charge if
necessary.
