Riding Lessons & Therapy

The Unicorn Centre provides riding lessons and therapy for children and adults from 5 years old, both disabled and able-bodied. All potential riders with disabilities must complete an application form counter-signed by their medical practioner and will be assessed for suitability by a senior instructor at the Centre. We do have a waiting list for some of our lessons, but this can be discussed during the assessment. Lessons take place Monday to Friday each day, every evening except Tuesdays, and all day Saturday. Each lesson has a maximum of six riders, and the Centre will provide trained leaders for the ponies, and trained side walkers for the riders as necessary. All our instructors are RDA and/or BHS qualified and physiotherapy support is provided. Block bookings for groups of ridings from local day centres, schools etc are available at discounted prices.
