Trent Park Equestrian Centre

The Equestrian Centre at Trent Park is a vibrant, professional riding school for London and the Home Counties as well as a British Horse Society Equestrian Centre of Excellence. From group and individual riding lessons and equestrian courses to riding parties, equestrian shows and livery facilities, we have something to suit everyone, whatever their age and riding ability.

Children’s riding lessons

1/2 hour introductory lesson: designed for children aged 4-6 years old, this half-hour 'one to one' lesson is the perfect introduction to riding. 

Designed to develop familiarity with ponies whilst building confidence, these lessons are not overly instructional but enhance skills slowly and safely. This is a lead rein session. The child will be lead throughout by the qualified staff member teaching the lesson.  This introductory lesson will include, walk, trot, basic turns and confidence-building exercises, but will not include work in canter.  

Once your child is confident in walk and trot, s/he may move into a beginners group or individual riding lesson for one hour.  If you are unsure if your child is ready to move up, please discuss this with the instructor teaching the lesson.  

Children’s Group Riding Lessons

Beginners Lessons:The beginners group lesson for children, is the perfect place to start for any child aged 6-12 wishing to learn to ride.  Taught with the emphasis on 'fun', the children learn the basic principles of riding including mounting, dismounting, correct riding position, holding the reins, halt, walk, basic turns and rising & sitting trot. These principles are taught with the aid of simple 'confidence-building exercises', encouraging children to relax on the ponies and to interact with both the ponies and other children in the group.  Each child will be lead by one of our trained volunteers until they have sufficient strength and control to ride independently.

Intermediate Lessons: Once established in walk & trot without a leader, children may progress into our intermediate group lesson. Here the children will learn to ride a variety of school figures to improve control and add variety to the session. Once balanced and established in both rising and sitting trot, and feeling confident, the children may begin learning to canter.

Advanced Lessons: Children competent in walk, trot & canter may progress into our children's advanced group lesson.  Here they further develop their skills and may begin to work towards jumping with our prep to jump lessons.  They may also begin to hack out into Trent Park.

Individual Riding Lessons: These 'one to one' sessions are ideal for helping the children progress from one level to another.
