Best Horseback Riding Lessons in Hoddesdon

We grade all new riders each morning between 7.30am-9.00am based on the information you put on the rider registration. To ensure the safety of all our clients and horses we may assign a lower grade to riders initially, which is then adjusted after your first lesson with us if necessary. The schedules will not be visible to you until riders have been graded. Once graded only the appropriate lessons/ activities will be displayed on the schedules. The instructors give regular feedback on rider grades to the office who adjust grades as appropriate, to allow you to book the most suitable lessons and activities. If you feel you are not graded at the correct level please discuss this with your instructor.

These first horse riding lessons will help you master the basic principles of riding; mounting, dismounting, basic position, holding the reins, walk, halt, basic turns, moving quickly into trot and learning the rising trot. Once established as a rider there are a large range of options available to you, including hacking, jumping and advanced flatwork, taught on either a private or group basis.

Once assessed by the centre as being competent in walk, trot & canter, you may hack out into Trent Country Park. Our 45 minute hacks involve no road riding so are perfect for those new to hacking/ riding out of the arena. We also offer 3 hour rides to Whitewebbs for the more competent riders.
