Low cost riding lessons



29th September 2004




Learn to ride indoors this winter for just £5!

This winter Active Exmoor is bringing low cost horse riding lessons to Exmoor.

Based at the Calvert Trust’s Wistlandpound base, near Blackmoor Gate, we have arranged for beginner’s horse riding lessons through the winter months.

The lessons are subsidised by Active Exmoor making them affordable to all at just £5 for a full hour and a half with horses.

You will be in a group of 4 and will spend 45 minutes learning to ride and 45 minutes learning stable management – i.e. learning how to look after horses!

No experience is necessary as these lessons are aimed at beginners and all equipment will be provided for you, from a hard hat to the horse!

Dates are as follows, all are Saturdays starting at 11am.

November - 6th, 13th, 20th, December - 4th, 11th, 18th January -15th, 29th and February 12th.

If you are aged between 8 and 14 and would like to book your place, then contact Mike Bishop on 07919 540 575 or e-mail
