This group is for children 5 years and upwards who have never ridden before and is designed to provide good instruction in the basics. Riders will learn to halt, walk, trot, steer and carry out balancing exercises. Riders will also learn to walk and have occasional trots on grass and tracks out hacking whilst being led.
Thank you for choosing FFRS for your lessons.

Although I don’t ride here and would love to, the amount of things they have posted about the horses and ponies seem really fun to ride and really good activities, would love to ride here but no idea where it is and wouldn’t know how to get there if it’s far...the horses and ponies are always well looked after for what I’ve seen and seem really friendly

The livery is beautifully run, the staff super friendly, so supportive, helpful and very professional . I have had private lessons, group lessons with coffee morning and more and it’s great. Wouldn’t go anywhere else . I’m a returning rider after 25yrs with major confidence issues I’m progressing really well in all areas of riding but at my pace with much support from the qualified instructors. Thank you !
