Aiming High - Gartmore Riding School - 1:1 Sessions for First-Time Riders
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.

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.
