What level of experience does Natasha cater for?​
 

She offers lessons for all abilities of horse and rider, ranging from complete beginners right up to competitive combinations—and everything else in between.

The lessons do not have to be ridden; they can be in hand, or alternatively, she can offer a behavioural consultation.

All ridden lessons for new clients require an intro lesson on the simulator, before a live horse.

​

What will I need to provide?

 

A horse and a safe, flat, contained area on which to work it. This does not have to be a state-of-the-art facility, but it does need to facilitate learning for horse and rider, and both horse and rider must wear appropriate equipment, which for riders includes a properly fitted hat for riding and handling.​

​

Do lessons go ahead in bad weather?
 

Absolutely. As riding is an all-weather sport, it’s a good idea to invest in some warm and/or waterproof clothing. If Natasha is travelling to you for a lesson, then it will go ahead in bad weather unless both parties deem it to be dangerous. 

If the weather in inclement and you would prefer to change your Schoolmaster lesson for a Simulator lesson, give us as much notice as possible on the day (at least 2h) and we can relocate. Any difference in price can be carried forward to a future lesson booking within 6 months.

If I am ill or cannot make my lesson, will I get a refund?
