At Mount Mascal we like to think that we make riding an accessible sport for people of all ages and abilities.
While we take pride in our excellent facilities that we are able to offer experienced riders and horse owners, we welcome everyone from very small children to the more mature novice rider. We do not see age, weight or physical ability as obstacles, and encourage everyone to "have a go".
We have horses and ponies of all shapes and sizes and are confident that we can find one to suit your needs. We understand that for an inexperienced rider, the thought of mounting, what appears to be, a huge animal can be fairly daunting. However, as always our aim is to build up your confidence and help you to learn. We work at your pace, and respect that everyone is different.
We can offer private and group tuition. Our private lesson offers one to one tuition, with your instructor just concentrating on you and our group lessons comprise of other riders of a similar ability, maximum of 8 people in one group.
Please note that before you ride with us you are required to complete a client details form. This is not a requirement every time you ride with us, although we do recommended that you give us an updated version, after you have progressed with your riding.
We will provide the necessary safety head wear and recommend that you wear trousers, a long sleeved top and flat footwear with a small heel. We do not advise that you rush out and buy all the correct riding equipment, although it is nice to look the part, it is not imperative for your first few lessons!
If, after a few lessons you would like to purchase the correct riding equipment, we stock essential items of everyday riding wear and tack. Other items can generally be obtained within 36 hours.
If you are still a little uncertain as to whether riding is suited to you, please feel free to visit us and we will be happy to show you around and answer any further questions you might have. Just contact the center to arrange a time.
