DRDA Community Riding

​

DRDA runs a Community Riding after school on Mondays currently. This is an opportunity to give children the chance to learn how to ride a horse. Whether they are a complete beginner or have had some horse riding lessons before we are able to offer a riding program. 

​

Riders in the Community Riding will be assigned to a group of 3 to 4 riders, who will work with two coaches in a mixture of one on one and small group instruction.

 

Please note: We can provide one off lessons please fill out the rider application form below and email us.
