Don't worry about the weather or mud - come and enjoy horse riding lessons that are suitable for all ages and stages in our indoor and outdoor arenas

It’s easy to learn to ride at Severnvale, as the Centre provides lessons for all ages; from someone who has never ridden before, to those that want to just ‘brush-up’, or to improve their riding skills.

Severnvale’s instructors are friendly, and have a wide range of qualifications and expertise; as well as many years of experience of getting the best out of nervous adults and young children. Their main priority is the rider’s enjoyment and safety, as well as making sure that their riding ambitions are realised.

Lessons are given using carefully selected school ponies and horses of differing abilities and sizes, so they are suitable for everyone, from total beginners to the more experienced rider. Where required, lessons can be given on the owner’s horse. Riding hats are provided for those who don’t have their own.

Lessons can be paid for individually, or booked in blocks, at a discounted price (Special riding offers)

To find out more, or to book a lesson, please call and see us, or telephone the office on 01291 623412.   

There are a range of lessons, with different instructors, to suite all abilities and financial needs

Lessons are normally held in either the indoor or outdoor arena, and are one or half an hour, in length.

Lessons can be ‘Private’, which means that individual one-to-one tuition is given, or ‘Semi-Private’, in which case, two people share a lesson.

Alternatively, ‘Group’ lessons are available, in which three or more people take part, these groups are however, usually kept quite small. There is a special ‘Lead Rain Group’ for very young riders.

The cost of each lesson depends on the qualification and skills of the instructor chosen, the type of lesson, and of course whether it is one or half an hour in length. Lessons taken at the weekend are more expensive than those taken during the week.

A Price List showing the cost of the range and period of the lessons that are given by the different instructors, is available from the Centre. Discounted prices are available for lessons that are booked in blocks - see ‘Special riding offers’

Its easy to book a riding lesson at Severnvale

Persons who are new, or relatively new to riding, and wishing to book their first lesson at Severnvale, should preferably call into the office and talk with one of the instructors.

This is because Severnvale, likes to assess each person’s riding abilities, so that lessons can be tailored to suite their individual needs. It also provides an opportunity to discuss what to wear.

Generally, when riding a properly fitting hard hat of an approved type, and footwear with heels, must be worn when mounted. Riding hats are available for those who don’t have their own.

If it is not possible to call into the office in person, then book a lesson by telephoning the Centre. More experienced riders and existing clients normally book by telephone, or at the end of their most recent lesson.

Details showing how to find the Centre can be found on the ‘How to find us’ page.
