"Natural
Horsemanship" does this mean that I will have to ride without
a saddle or bridle?
Not at all,
Natural Horsemanship is based on developing trust and understanding,
this is acheived on the ground before you venture on board. Riding
without a saddle and bridle is the ultimate level of understanding
between horse and rider. Here we do not expect you to do anything
you did not feel completely at ease with.

What items of clothing shall I bring with me?
This is a family
run establishment and we like to create a relaxed informal atmosphere,
whatever you would wear around horses at home and feel comfortable
in, is fine. Bear in mind that it can get really hot here in the
summer months and sunglasses and suntan lotion would be advisable.
Bring a hard hat or helmet with you, sensible boots and comfortable
light weight leisure wear. Remember to pack your swimwear for the
pool, which is heated outside the summer months.
Occasionally it does rain so it may be wise to pack a light raincoat.

If you are emotionally
and physically fit enough to cope with walk, trot and canter great!
if not we will aim to get you there!! If you do want to go out on
a trail ride you must be confident in trot and canter.
