For new joiners-
If you are looking to return to/ take up horse-riding or seek horse connection, book one Get Ready to Ride gateway session, Fridays at 2 pm; Saturdays at 4 pm.
You will then be placed in a riding stream or a horsemanship connection stream.

Why horse-riding? Not just the adrenaline and drive, also the quiet connection and rhythmn of working in tune with a beautiful animal. Plus physical fitness and mental balance. And new friendships with like-minded people.

For an informal chat or come-see, do drop in to the ERS Summer Show this Sunday (30th August 9am-4 pm) to find out about costs (Term multi-packs available), how long it takes and T&C's. All will be most welcome.

Student New Term starts 5th September! Current youngsters should book in 5th - 13th for assessment & placement for the new term. You will be stronger, fitter and braver than last year!
5 levels & promotion badges for children from Start to Ride to Advanced, weekdays and weekends. Plus Friday Pony Clubs
New Joiners welcome with no entry cost.
Why take up horse-riding for children? Confidence, good friendships, skills, off screen connection & communication, the outdoors, and the grounded mental health that working (and playing) with horses & ponies give.
If you wish to know more, do drop in to the ERS this Sunday Summer Show (30 August 9am - 4 pm), observe and chat to our Staff who will be there to greet you and discuss costs (term multi-packages reduce fees), what to wear and what to expect when you learn to horse-ride.

29 nationalities rode/ connected with horses with us last year and we are proud to be part of that horse-loving global village.
English language can be a barrier for some (some of them brilliant riders, some missing their home horse connection) so, by request, we are running 2 courses this summer, starting July 21 and August 18, run by a T.E.F.L trained senior BHS Coach to aid Equestrian English Language.

Huge thanks go to all our expert Grooms and Coaches looking after the horses in the heat.

But they do get a little help..... this is Krystal and Elsa completely competently returning by themselves from the lovely Gallivanter Meadow, to a clean stable and a large filled declicious tea-time hay net.

No help needed. Great sense of direction.

Our weather riding policy is governed by horse welfare as a BHS Approved Centre....generally ride up to 30ish, slow or horsemanship (essential for promotion/ practical and theory) 30-33 ish and closed for riding/ open for non-saddle activities (and experienced helpers very much needed) from 34 degrees. Watch the weather - check our website- ERS has the most flexible of Equestrian Centre policies but with strict on line 48 hour rescheduling.
