Parents can be reassured that all lessons are carried out by experienced, qualified instructors who are also chosen for their natural empathy with children and will be riding ponies who are carefully selected and extensively trained. The combination of these elements creates a wonderful and exciting adventure for your child within an environment designed to maximise the safety of young people participating in such a lively activity.

We believe in teaching our children all the relevant areas of horsemanship to ensure they develop a well-rounded education. Children have their own instructor who is responsible for their continued progress and enjoyment and it never seems to take the children long to dote on their instructor and develop great camaraderie with their fellow riders!

The majority of our children end up being part of Lavant House Stables for years and their horsemanship skills advance faster than can normally be expected - often even against children with their own ponies.
