Tuition
Riverleigh provides horse riding tuition to riders of all ages and levels of skill, from total beginner to advanced dressage level.

Our aim is to continuously ensure that all pupils receive appropriate instruction to build their horse riding skills, learn how to be responsive to their horse and develop a rewarding relationship with their equine friends.

We also ensure that our own skills are regularly updated so that we provide the most up-to-date best practice equine teaching methods available to our clients.
