Private Western Riding Lessons.

An unusual opportunity to see if you and your horse may suit Western Riding. Bring along your own horse and have him kitted out in Western Saddle and Western reins, and have a private lesson from Western Reining trainers.
You'll get shown all the basics, from how to fit the tack, to the differences between 'English' and 'Western' aids.

For those who can't bring along a horse - there are quiet horses for hire which can also be worked using Western tack.

cost of a private lesson on your own horse is £45.
Hire horse is an extra £15.

Contact Lisa Pritchard at [e-mail] for more details and to book your lesson.

Well, we worked our Western riders hard today - with 13 private lessons during the day!

All bar two horses were able to be fitted with the western saddles, and we even had a handful with the western bridles too.

It was quite amazing how many horse and riders really took to this first introduction to Western, and impressive how many combinations achieved softness in the outline after just one hour of teaching. We are hoping to do much more Western stuff at New Barn from now on, especially as we feel it has so much in common with Classical work.
