Holiday Activities

During the holidays and half terms, we offer different activities which cater to riders of all ages and abilities.

Ad hoc Riding Lessons

We offer 1-2-1 lessons for 30 minutes or 45 minutes, semi-private lessons and group lessons of up to four riders for 45 minutes. All lessons are taught on well-schooled horses and ponies with qualified and professional instructors. These sessions are great for building and practicing different skill sets before taking Pony Club or BHS exams, or just to get a feel for what riding a horse is like. If you haven’t ridden with us before, the first lesson will be an Assessment lesson.

Pony Mornings/Afternoons (9.30am-12.30pm/1pm-4pm)

These are designed to be a fun and interactive experience for younger riders. Working in a small group with an experienced instructor, the children will focus on the basics of horse handling and care, from understanding horse behaviour and how to handle the ponies, to the basics of riding. Children will be able to help groom and care for the ponies, as well as having a 45-minute to one hour ridden session. Beginner riders can book these sessions, but there is a minimum age of 5 years.

Pony Day Camps (9.30am-3.30pm)

Pony Day Camps are a really immersive experience and are designed for riders who are a little more capable. Horse behaviour and horse care will provide a focus both on and off the yard. Children will be taught how to act around the ponies; how to groom and prepare the pony to be ridden as well as how to mount and how to untack. There will be time spent riding in the arena and/or on an onsite hack. Riders need to be at least 7 years old.

Hacks

The onsite hacks at STE offer an opportunity for riders to immerse themselves in the stunning landscape and grounds of St Teresa’s School. The hacks follow the grassland and wooded carriage trackways through the estate and last 30 to 45 minutes. These hacks are open to all abilities and are led by an experienced member of the team.

Off-site hacks, which explore the beautiful, undulating Surrey Hills, are also possible for more experienced riders with their BHS ‘Ride Safe’ certificate.
