Saddle club is ideal for child beginners who want to give horse riding a try. Each session has 30 minutes of hands on theory sessions and a 30 minute riding session. Saddle club is run on Saturdays and is very popular.

 Those that fall in love with the horses and riding then progress via an assessment lesson into our regular group lessons. 

  We offer group lessons for school aged riders Monday – Friday at 4pm and 5pm, as well as Saturdays at 9am, 10am and 11am. Groups range in size from 5 to 8 riders

At Riverside we pride ourselves on teaching not just riding but horsemanship as well so while the ride duration is 45 mins to an hour, we encourage the students to arrive 30 mins prior to their lesson time to prepare and saddle their own horse for the lesson and stay 30 minutes after the lesson to assist unsaddling and putting the horses away. Where this is not possible, we try to be accommodating.

To ensure your child is added into the correct lesson, we will complete an assessment lesson where the rider is assessed and receives a copy of the book Riding the Magic Horse, authored by Riverside’s founder, Liz White.

Adult group lessons can be organised with a coach, we recommend groups of 2-4 riders, so bring along some friends and enjoy a ride in the arena where you can focus on perfecting your skills or enjoy a tour of our beautiful 54 acres on horseback. Contact us  for more information . . .

We have a regular adults group lesson on Saturdays at 4pm, riders need to be assessed to join this lesson and can book in following that on a casual basis.  

We have 30-minute or 45-minute private lessons available, and usually run between the times of 8am and 2pm.  Receive an in-depth training session with one of our coaches, we have horses to suit all riders, no matter what your experience may be!

Please remember to arrive at least half an hour before our lesson to saddle.
