If you're new to riding, or wanting to get over fear of riding, or fear of anything, I highly recommend the HHPC, a journey of self discovery in every sense. Somehow the whole experience has changed my life, not just with the riding, but in all aspects I see myself and relate to myself differently.

All this for the same price as your bog standard half hour ride and go.
#HOLISTIC HORSE AND PONY CENTRE OCKHAM HOW TO#
I've had the pleasure of having lessons with all the instructors and they are so gifted in teaching not only how to ride, imparting technique and instructions with so much patience, but also how to understand your horses behaviour and how to get in their head, getting the best out of your lesson every single time. This procedure is important as it gives me time to lower my adrenalin,relax and for the trust between me and horse to grow ! By the time I've got her tacked up, which I also learned to do so as part of the experience, I'm more relaxed and we're ready for our lesson. I spend 20 minutes or so grooming her and cleaning her hooves, after being given ample advice and training, and when I felt comfortable to do so. Wendy is a pioneer in the practice and teaching of the holistic approach to horse riding.

We offer private and group lessons to individuals from all ages and backgrounds. I started my horseriding lessons a few months ago and have to say with hand on heart they are really something out of the ordinary! The HHPC stands out from the other riding schools because there is no 'conveyer belt' attitude with regard to horse and rider.The lessons start with a bonding session between me and my horse, where we check each other out get to feel each other's presence and energy. At The Holistic Horse and Pony Centre, we provide riding lessons for both adults and children.
