Horse Riding Lessons and Tuition

Heazle Arena / Riding Centre and stables, is situated on the Devon / Somerset border just 3miles south of Wellington

and only 7 miles from Taunton. We offer tuition on an individual or group basis, adults and children by the hour or 45 mins. Riding lessons can be tailored to suit all needs and standards.

You can learn to ride in safety and confidence with our friendly, enthusiastic and sensitive team of experienced, local staff.

Bookings for riding lessons are taken either directly at reception or by telephone on 01823 680 280.

Our riding staff will select the most suitable mount for the rider’s age, experience and ability. On your first lesson our trainers will take time to discuss your previous experience and your requirements; whether riding for pleasure or training towards competitions.

As a new rider it is possible to start with private lessons, however as our group lessons are small and we match riders of simalair ability you may find the group option less demanding and a more social occasion. You may also find a 45 mins lesson will be quite long enough until your muscles develop, if possible beginers should try to ride at least once a week until you have mastered the basic’s and toned the muscles used for riding.

During group lessons you will have other riders to consider. You also learn from watching your fellow riders and possibly get things right from their mistakes, individual time spent with each person by the instructor is less than with a private lesson, however on balance if you are a novice or beginer we have found the small group lesson to be more benificial than individual private lesson, where the expectation and pressure is naturally greater.

For regular clients you can purchase a book which contains four booking vouchers ( there are conditions and restrictions ) these vouchers can give up to a 20% reduction on the cost of your lessons, if you only ride on an occasional basis or can only plan your riding at short notice then pay as you go will possible suit you best.
