*Learn2Ride with ILEAP and RDA : Spring Term 2026: Ages 8+ years: 4.15pm - 5.15pm

Our popular horse-riding session is back.

You need JavaScript enabled to view it..  The first session of each term is a mechanical horse assessment.

ILEAP has teamed up with the Riding for Disabled HQ at Lowlands for an after-school club to build your confidence around our equine friends whilst learning to ride.  

The group of 10 is split into three smaller groups, each taking turns to ride in the school.  Beginners will be on guide ropes and each horse has a volunteer to support the participants. As they gain experience and confidence, participants will learn the techniques of steering, trotting and cantering.  Lesson times are 3.45pm, 4.15pm and 4.45pm and last for 30 minutes each.

Research has suggested that spending time with animals in an outdoor environment is beneficial to mental health and wellbeing.

Please wear long trousers and long -sleeved jackets.  The riding school can provide hats and boots for you to wear, although you are welcome to bring your own.
