In the Saddle
Riding lessons for adults and children are here, catering for beginners through to intermediate riders. We are excited to offer this as part of our program. Experienced and qualified instructors matched with quality and safe horses will ensure a positive horse riding experience.
Private sessions and small group (up to 3 participants) will be available soon. All group lessons will require a minimum standard of riding (taught through private sessions) before joining a group. This is to ensure safety is maintained.

🌟 **New to Alkira Adina: Riding Lessons!** 🌟
Dream of building a strong bond with a horse or pony? At Alkira Adina Equestrian, we teach Natural Horsemanship—or "horse whispering"—a science-based approach that fosters a deep connection between horse and rider. Say goodbye to kicking to go or pulling to stop; we’ll teach you to communicate with your horse using intuitive and gentle techniques.
Our lessons are designed for ages 4+, welcoming both beginners and those looking to enhance their horsemanship skills.
🐴 What You’ll Learn
✨ Tacking Up: Learn how to politely and safely saddle your horse. This vital skill is often overlooked at traditional riding schools but is key to building confidence and understanding in horse care.
✨ Riding Techniques: Master walking, trotting, and even cantering—all through cues from your seat, not force.
✨ Natural Horsemanship: Develop trust and teamwork with your horse, creating a true partnership instead of just a ride.
🐎 Why Choose Us?
Our approach blends traditional riding with holistic horse care, giving you the tools to grow as a rider while building a deep connection with your horse. Whether you’re preparing to own a horse or simply want to feel confident in the saddle, we’re here to guide you every step of the way.

Games on Horseback
At our facility, we've dedicated significant time to developing and perfecting ground-based activities and are proud to unveil our latest innovative program: 'Games on Horseback'. This exciting initiative has been created in response to local demand for unique equine experiences that focus on both physical, emotional and mental development.
Under the guidance of our holistic riding mentor and experienced riding instructor, Will, riders will engage in activities that emphasise balance and body awareness. Our training process ensures that our horses are not only safe for riding but also comfortable and composed when interacting with various objects such as rubber axes, bean bags, and balls.
Learn valuable communication and body awareness skills (which can be used throughout life). Learn about how anxiety and confidence affects the body and how to keep your body in a learning zone.
Our games on horseback for children (recommended ages 4-12 years) have commenced.
Teen and adult riding sessions will be available once the arena construction is complete.
Sessions are 1 hour
