Riding games

From the year you turn 5, you can participate in the equestrian playgroups. The aim is that in a playful way you can try handling the horse, walking and trotting with the help of a  accompanying parent or other adult (over 18). The children ride without stirrups to find their balance in the saddle and do a lot of balance exercises during lessons. You can then move on to the beginner group from the year you turn 7.
 

Rules for riding games:

• The adult must be with, both in the stable and in the riding house.

• You must be there at least 15 minutes before the lesson to see which horse you will ride.

• If you are late for the lesson, the opportunity is missed for safety reasons.

• The instructor decides which horse to ride and what happens in the lesson.

• Clothing/equipment:

• Helmet and safety vest (can be borrowed from us!)

• Closed shoe with heel or riding boot.

• Long pants, long-sleeved shirt without a hood.

• Updo hair if you have long hair.
