The expectation of progress is based on 5 days for relatively fit and healthy individuals. Our aim is for you to be capable and confident in walk, trot and canter without assistance, to be able to safely groom, feed and generally care for a horse, identify basic types of tack, tack up and untack a horse, identify basic illness and lameness, have an understanding of basic anatomy and gather enough knowledge to stay safe on roads and in open spaces.

​

Progress is specific to each individual, and confidence is as, if not more, important than capability. Although we have had many individuals who have achieved all of the above, that does not mean that you have to. We are always ready to alter the course programme to suit the rider to ensure that you achieve as much as your body will allow.
