6 individual, pre-booked 30- minute sessions over a 3-hour time slot. 

The 1:1 or  semi-private sessions are aimed at first-time riders but will also suit riders who find group situations too difficult. The focus will be on getting used to being with a pony, getting on and off safely and enjoying a ride. We will provide a leader and side supporters, as required for each person.

Referral Details

If participants are new to Gartmore Riding School, we will make a pre-visit phone call just to check requirements. 

We will ask parents and carers to complete pre-riding consent forms when they are with us.

Other notes

We are a Riding for the Disabled Association group and have extensive experience of working with children, young people and adults with a range of abilities, with differing physical , emotional and mental health needs.

Please wear outdoor clothing. We will provide riding boots and a riding hat for riders.

We recommend that participants bring any medication that they may need but we are unable to administer it, so parents/carers will need to do this if required.

When attending an activity session, we ask parents/carers to adhere to our code of conduct which includes:

  • Only parents or carers may enter the premises with their child/children. Please do not bring other adults onto the premises.
  • Please keep within the allocated areas on the premises as guided by staff.
  • A rider’s registration form must be completed for each child who attends the course.
  • Any special needs or requirements for your child must be fully disclosed. Any information you provide will be treated with confidentiality.
  • Parents/carers must not take photographs at any time anywhere on the premises until we have sought permission for all attendees.
  • We will provide suitable opportunities for photographs to be taken. These must not be shared on social media of any kind. This is part of our safeguarding of all people who come to us.
