When you're on holiday and you've set yourself a goal - something you really want to achieve whilst you've got the time to concentrate and focus on your horse and your riding, you need to be confident that your instructor will have the experience and ability to work with you right from the first lesson.
We ride and compete horses too, so we know what that means and that's why the instructors we work with are BHSII or BHSI qualified and registered and also successful competitors themselves. They've proved not only that they can ride, but that they can teach too and at a high level. We work closely with our local instructors and despite the fact that they're always busy, we'll be able to arrange training to match your ambitions.
You may be just gaining confidence with your first horse and need some all round experience - what better way to progress than indulge in a week of concentrated, all-round training? If on the other hand you're aiming for a competition, we can suggest a weekly itinerary to give you every opportunity to reach your peak just at the right time.
