Private Tuition & Prices
When you begin riding with us you will need to have an initial private assessment lesson. This helps us judge your current level of riding or introduce you to riding at Burcott if you are a beginner. Then your instructor will help you decide what to do next.
What can you hope to achieve with regular instruction? This depends largely on your own ambitions. We are quite happy to teach people who want to keep their riding purely as a hobby. However if you are keen to progress to owning your own horse or have your own horse and want to improve to compete we are able to help you. Instructors who compete themselves regularly are up to date with competition requirements.
