All riders, adults as well as children, must wear suitable clothing for all lessons.  Anyone without suitable attire will not be allowed to ride because they would not be covered by the terms of our Riding School Insurance Policy.

Use of riding helmets are included in the cost of lessons, but it is recommended that clients purchase their own riding helmet once they have been riding for a few weeks.

Riding gloves are available for purchase from the riding school at a cost of £3.00. All sizes from extra small to large are available.

Suitable riding footwear must be worn. Formal riding jodhpur boots (long or short) or Wellington boots are suitable. Sandals, school shoes or trainers are not permissible as these can be very dangerous if they become caught in the stirrups.

Warm clothing is a must for beginners. Long trousers, either jeans, cords or woollen jogging suits, are acceptable, but proper riding jodhpurs  are most preferable because of the extra padding on the legs which helps with the correct grip. Riding jodhpurs are available in many colours and may be purchased at reasonable cost.

Showerproof jackets are recommended because lessons continue except during the heaviest showers.

Please note that riders must be at least five years old. The maximum weight for riders is 83 Kilos (13 Stone)
