Riding Lessons

Riding Lessons

We offer lessons to riders from ages 4 to 70 +, and you don't need to have ridden before. Our horses are kind and gentle and we have experienced instructors and volunteers who will offer their support as you learn.

As well as the indoor school we are able to ride out on the bridleways and tracks around Aireview Equestrian Centre giving a sense of freedom to our riders as they can access on horseback places and views normally denied to them.

The physical activity of sitting on a walking horse mimics the action of the human walking gait, so stimulating and exercising the whole body, especially strengthening the abdominal core muscles and legs. Parents, carers and our participants report positive knock on effects with physical, mental and emotional improvement leading to an increased quality of life.

For those riders who wish to take part there are RDA competitions at, local, regional and national level. Our more experienced riders also have the opportunity to take part in show jumping events up to level 3. These give an incentive and focus to improving skills and takes our riders out of their physical and mental comfort zones as well as stretching them socially whilst remaining in a friendly and supportive environment.
