What we offer

At Ashe Green Riding our focus is always on you.

We pride ourselves on providing a friendly and supportive environment where riders of all ages and abilities can learn, progress and most importantly, enjoy their time with our wonderful horses and ponies.

We are not your typical riding school.

Our LESSONS are provided on a private basis, as we believe this approach offers the best experience for our riders, horses, ponies and instructors. It creates an experience that feels more like having your own horse or pony, where you can learn at a pace that suits you.

Our WALKOUTS are for all ages and abilities, from 18 months to 90, from never ridden to the more experienced. Ride around our beautiful tracks and woodlands, riders also get a rosette.

Our ACTIVITY SESSIONS are available for children 5yrs and above and include both riding time and learning about all things pony in a fun group setting.

Riding Lessons

We are unique in offering only private lessons at AGR, as we believe in allowing riders to learn at their own pace with tuition tailored entirely to the rider’s needs.

Whether you are a complete beginner, a nervous rider building confidence, or a regular rider looking to develop further, our experienced instructors and fantastic horses and ponies will adapt each lesson to suit you.

If you would prefer to ride with a friend or family member, you can make your lesson semi-private for up-to three riders.

Lessons are 30 minutes long and take place all year round in our outdoor arena.
