Holly Riding School in Atherstone is excited to promote their upcoming local Horse Riding event. Whether you're a beginner or an advanced rider, they offer lessons for riders of all levels. With classes and private lessons available, they cater to both children and adults.
Children's lessons are held on weekends, with various time slots to choose from. It's important to prebook in advance to secure a spot. The cost for a one-hour group lesson is £27.00. Safety standard helmets are provided for free, and children are advised to wear shoes or boots with a small heel for their own safety.
At Holly Riding School, they believe in inclusivity and offer riding lessons for individuals with disabilities. They find these lessons to be incredibly rewarding and successful. Additionally, if you have a group of friends who are interested in learning together, private bookings can be arranged.
Holly Riding School also works with schools, scout groups, and brownie groups to provide riding lessons as part of their extracurricular activities. This gives children the opportunity to work towards their riding badges while having a great time.
It's significant to note that there is a 48-hour cancellation policy in place for all bookings. Any 'no shows' or late cancellations will be required to pay £15 for the missed lesson before booking any further lessons. Payment is made in cash as they do not have a card machine. This ensures that all payments are smooth and hassle-free.
For adults, private lessons are available throughout the week, from Monday to Friday. The lessons start at 9am and the last lesson is at 7pm. There are different prices for different durations, with £30 for 30 minutes, £35 for 45 minutes, and £45 for a full 60-minute lesson. Prepayment via bank transfer is required for the first lesson to secure the booking. Similar to children's lessons, there is also a 48-hour cancellation policy in place.
