Ranch Riders provides young people with the opportunity to learn horsemanship skills and to develop their riding ability.
Over summer our Ranch Rider participants will have the opportunity to experience another activity at the Ranch through the hottest part of the day. This could include time in the pool, a giant swing experience or perhaps some archery (activities will vary from day to day).
All new applicants to Ranch Riders are requested to attend a Beginner day, in which they will be observed by our instructors, who will determine where their best fit is within our Ranch Rider programmes.
It is important to note that some riders will remain in the Beginner or Plus level for some time, before they are confident enough and have sufficient skills to move into the Advanced programme.
Beginners – The Beginner Ranch Riders programme is designed for those who have never ridden a horse before and would like to have a go, or for those who have had a few lessons but are still figuring out the basics. It is ideal for any rider just starting out on their pony experience.
Plus - Ranch Riders Plus is designed for those who have had some experience with riding a horse but are still improving their ground and riding skills.
Advanced – The Advanced Ranch Riders programme is designed for those who have had many lessons over a period of time and are wanting to hone their skills. It is ideal for those riders who are looking to improve their riding ability at a trot or for those who are capable of trotting and are moving toward learning to canter. These riders will gain more experience at the higher paces and technical elements of riding. Participants in this programme will have a good foundational understanding of working around horses and be keen to learn more.
Suitable for ages 10 to 17 years.
