 ABI'S NATURAL HORSEMANSHIP

 Pony & Horse riding school

Nelly and Pebbles on bridge Abi's Natural Horsemanship 293 Waterholes Road, Lincoln NZ

LESSONS USING OUR HORSES/PONIES

All of the lessons are tailored as much as possible to the individual's goals with the emphasis being on progressing the rider, as well as the horse or pony, to their own abilities and are recommended for participants aged from 5 years old upwards.

​

We provide opportunities to gain official Natural Horsemanship Certificates so you can be rewarded for the efforts you put into your partnership with The Horse.

​

All of our lessons start with an element of ground work and begin in the arena. When the rider shows they can control their horse/pony there is the option to experiment outside of it in a more open area.  

 

We can provide riding helmets, some spare clothes and limited footwear. 

INTRODUCTORY LESSONS

​This lesson you will start to learn how a horse herd works, how this relates to us and start to build a positive relationship with The Horse. You will learn how to be safer around your horse and the herd, learn the basic ground games and there is an opportunity to ride towards the end of the lesson.

​

Usually we will get the horse/pony ready for you however you are welcome to get involved with this if you choose to. Please note that this will incur extra cost and will lengthen the session.

​

This is a compulsory lesson for all newcomers. This enables us to assess the best fit for your next lesson and chosen horse.

​

Allow 2 and a half hours for this lesson inclusive of registration and a chat afterwards.

​

Costs: $60 per person for a group lesson up to a maximum of 5 riders. $90 for a one on one lesson.

​

We offer discounts for multiple family members who would like to take part in the same lesson, at the same time on the same day. 

Follow-On Lessons

We continue the journey of discovery using more ground games to extend our skills and add more 'tools' into our tool box, this

can be transferred into the saddle if wishing to ride.  We also encourage people to be involved in the pre/post care of the 

horse or pony they have.  Allow 2.5 hours for the session.

​

All levels are catered for from Beginners to Advanced riders.
