All new riders at Westacres are required to book a 30 minute private assessment lesson. You can then discuss with your instructor the best fit for your riding ability and goals. We recommend all beginner riders have at least 6 private lessons to ensure their confidence and independence before considering riding in a group setting. We also welcome riders who wish to continue with private lessons.
NOTE: Horse riding is a physical activity, which requires strength and fitness which are very different to many other activities. We would only recommend 45/60 minute private sessions for experienced riders.
Once riders are able to ride independently in walk and trot, they are able to join groups of riders. Groups will consist of no more than 6 riders of a similar ability
We are able to offer semi-private lessons to groups of 2/3 riders. Ideal for couples, parent/child or small groups of friends who want to ride together.
A walk on the lead rein in the round pen for little ones aged 2-4.
On all of our lessons, when you book 5, you get one free! Just ask to book a 'block' or purchase a token on ECPro and your discount will be applied automatically.
For riders who have completed an assessment lesson with us, we are able to offer guided hacks around our fantastic countryside.
An opportunity for customers aged 6 and above to join us for pony care and non-ridden activities for 2 hours on a Saturday morning.
During school holidays, we run pony days for our younger riders. These days include stable management, horse care, riding and much much more!
