Group Riding Experience Offers the Perfect Introduction to Horse Riding


For those eager to discover the joy of horse riding, the Group Riding Experience provides an enjoyable and supportive introduction for beginners of all ages. Sessions begin in a safe arena environment, where experienced instructors teach essential riding skills such as mounting, correct saddle position, steering, walking, and trotting. Every participant receives personalized guidance based on their confidence and ability, ensuring a comfortable and rewarding start.


Once riders have mastered the basics, the experience continues with a relaxing ride along a quiet country lane. Surrounded by scenic countryside and mountain views, participants can put their new skills into practice while enjoying the peaceful outdoor setting. The combination of instruction and guided riding creates an experience that is both educational and memorable.


Designed for families, first-time riders, and novice equestrians, the lesson welcomes both children and adults. Younger children can ride alongside family members, making it an ideal activity to enjoy together. Riding hats and boots are provided, while instructors remain focused on safety, horse welfare, and building each rider's confidence throughout the session.


The experience is flexible to suit different group sizes. If only one participant is booked, the session becomes a private lesson at no extra cost, while larger groups can be accommodated by prior arrangement. Blending expert instruction with beautiful surroundings, the Group Riding Experience leaves participants with valuable new skills, greater confidence, and lasting memories.

I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone. In my view, some of the instruction is very poor and there is a ridiculous nanny culture at the club. They also act like they are the only people in the country who know how to ski. After what we both thought were some terrible ski lessons (the odd one was ok at best) from this crowd caused my partner to lose confidence, I brought her up for one of their practice sessions which we were both eligible for. We were minding our own business, following the signposted rules and were told after 2 minutes I am not allowed to show her anything. I offered to go up to one of the baby slopes but that wasn't deemed acceptable either. Ok that's fine if that is your rule so I didn't continue and handed back my boots and skis. Won't give me a refund (only asking for myself), absolutely pathetic, I did all of a half a run and have no personal need for your carpet. They also weren't keen to accept feedback that some of their instructors are not up to scratch, which we also overheard other people in one of the classes say to each other by the way. My 2 cents, if you want to deal with arrogant busybodies who will teach you what to me is reminiscent of ski technique from decades past, this is the place for you. We saw other people struggling with the lessons and looking dejected due to such poor feedback. I felt bad for them and hoped they weren't permanently put off of skiing. You may eventually learn to ski if you keep going up to this club but from an observer who can already ski, do yourself a favour if you are considering this place and book yourself an extra day on the real slopes and avoid this shower. It might end up cheaper, and I think you will learn more in a day or two on the real thing with competent technical alpine instructors than you will in weeks with this crowd of part-timers on their terrible carpet.

Had a fantastic time at the ski club! Everyone was incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the facilities were great. Huge thanks to Allan for his patience and great instruction, he made learning to ski an absolute pleasure. Highly recommend!
