About this service
Our programs and lessons are "structurally unstructured", which means we have deliberately decided not to attempt to create set programs and lessons, and instead we have opted for giving our certified instructors complete freedom in designing lessons and programs that work for each individual rider.
We have a careful intake program which involves detailed consideration of the special needs of each rider, including any physical, emotional or medical restrictions. We then design the lessons around attaining personal goals or objectives, be it a walk around the ring or the block, being able to control specific movements, interacting with the instructor, following instructions, all the way to trotting unassisted or even attending a horse show.
Who can use it?
Children and adults with special needs
