The Equestrians Club

The Preferred Horse Club

The Preferred Horse Club offers riders the chance to enhance their equestrian experience by using their favorite lesson horse for all lessons and practice rides. This allows riders to build a strong bond with their chosen horse, leading to a deeper understanding and connection between horse and rider. When there is familiarity and trust between the horse and rider, learning new skills tends to happen more quickly and effectively.

For those riders who aspire to compete and jump above cross-rail level, the Preferred Horse Club is mandatory, as we believe you need to form a bond with the horse you're competing and/or jumping with. This club provides riders with the necessary training and support to excel in the competitive arena. By participating in this club, riders can further deepen their relationship with their preferred horse, fostering a sense of unity and teamwork. This strong partnership between horse and rider is crucial when it comes to achieving success in the show ring.

Both The Learning Levels Lesson Club and The Preferred Horse Club work hand-in-hand to offer riders a comprehensive approach to equestrian education. These clubs not only provide valuable riding opportunities but also create an environment that encourages growth, skill development, and a deep appreciation for the equestrian sport.
