Referral Details

If the participant is new to Gartmore Riding School, we will make a pre-visit phone call to confirm requirements.

When a 1:1 or semi-private session has been booked with the AH Team, parents/carers should text Tracy on (07398) 452481 with the name of their child and Tracy will confirm a time for them. Parents/carers must text back to confirm that the time given is acceptable. 

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

Young people with medically diagnosed conditions must have written permission from a qualified member of their Multi-Disciplinary Team to confirm that they are allowed to ride, and details of any medical restrictions must be shared with us prior to any sessions taking place.

Please be fully open with the Booking Team about all special needs, particularly for 1:1 sessions.
