They previously had anxiety or fear, or to witness a horse confidently navigate obstacles they once avoided, is incredibly rewarding. I believe in building a strong foundation of trust and communication between horse and rider, as this is key to achieving harmony and success in any equestrian discipline.
At Lakeland Horse Trails, Rachel Ardley offers horsemanship sessions that cater to the individual needs of each horse and rider. Whether you are a beginner seeking to develop basic riding skills or an experienced rider looking to fine-tune your technique, Rachel will work with you to create a custom training plan that brings out the best in both you and your horse.
Rachel's patient and gentle approach has proven to be highly effective in addressing any issues that horses may be experiencing. Through a combination of groundwork, ridden exercises, and desensitisation techniques, Rachel helps horses overcome fear, build confidence, and establish a solid foundation of trust. She is dedicated to providing a positive and enjoyable learning experience for both horse and rider.
Walking with your horse is another service offered by Lakeland Horse Trails. This activity serves as an excellent way to develop confidence and trust in one another, as well as improve fitness for both horse and rider. It is particularly beneficial in the education of young or green horses, as it exposes them to different environments and helps them become well-rounded and adaptable.
Safety is a top priority at Lakeland Horse Trails. Rachel is fully insured and trained in first aid, ensuring that riders are in capable hands. Each trail is meticulously risk-assessed before the ride, taking into account the abilities of both horse and rider to ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for all.
Group sizes are kept small, with a maximum of five persons per ride, to provide a personal and intimate atmosphere. This allows Rachel to give individual attention to each rider and adapt the ride to suit their needs and abilities. Whether you are a novice or an advanced rider, Rachel will design a trail that matches your skill level and provides those “wow” moments you seek.
