Care, Groom & Ride sessions at Smiths Farm
Here at Equine-Connect we offer an inclusive package consisting of horse care, grooming and horse riding lesson in our arena. These sessions are available with our wonderful instructor Lisa for both children and adults.
For each session you will be matched with a horse of a suitable level, whether that be beginner, intermediate or advanced, whereby you will learn how to fully care for a horse, learn to groom and tack up as well as improve your riding skills.
Private lessons are tailored to the individual, whereas semi-private or group lessons incorporate a mixture of skills to suit those attending.
Please note; Safety is of paramount importance at Equine-Connect, whilst we appreciate that individuals may wish to ride a certain horse at Equine-Connect, we cannot guarantee that these wishes will be met. We have a duty to ensure that you and our horses are kept as safe as possible, therefore we kindly ask that you respect Lisa’s decisions when being matched with a horse. Equally, if you do not wish to ride a certain horse you must express this to Lisa in order to keep everyone involved safe.
