Benefits

Focus on rider bio-mechanics in ridden lessons. Access to human bodywork for relief of pain.

The Facility

UK base of Mary Wanless, world leading expert and author in rider bio-mechanics. We generally have 10-12 horses on site, but have additional stabling for horses visiting on courses. Our facilities include a large covered arena. Intensive mounted courses run from April-September, alongside the day to day activities of the riding school. The riding school is ABRS approved and quite unusual in that most of the lessons are private and bio-mechanics based. We also do some hacking with regular clients, groups of 2-4 only. Our riders are aged 4 upwards, from total beginners to international competitors.
