Never ridden, or ridden a handful of times
Beginner Riding
For complete beginners and returning riders. Position, balance and control at walk, then trot when you're ready.
Riding lessons
Find your place in the saddle.
Whether it's a first lesson on the lead rein or refining a canter transition you've been fighting for months, the starting point is the same: tell us about the rider.
Lesson types
Six routes into riding.
Over thirty schooled horses and ponies, three illuminated all-weather schools, and teaching that starts wherever you are. Every new rider begins with a 30-minute Assessment Lesson.
Young riders
Children's Riding
Ponies, patience and plenty of encouragement. Young riders learn horse care alongside riding itself.
Adults at any stage
Adult Riding
Adult-only teaching for anyone starting later or coming back after years away from the saddle.
Riders wanting focused progress
Private Lessons
One-to-one attention on exactly what you want to work on — the quickest way to shift a habit.
Riders of a similar stage
Group Lessons
Ride with others at a similar level. Sociable, structured and motivating week to week.
Confident, established riders
Experienced Riders
Flatwork, jumping and schooling for riders with a secure canter who want refinement rather than basics.

The 30-minute Assessment Lesson.
All new riders at Berkshire Riding Centre begin with a 30-minute Assessment Lesson. This allows the team to understand your experience and place you into the most appropriate future lessons.

What the assessment is for
