On
Saturdays we offer riding lessons to the general
public at novice and intermediate level for a number
of reasons.
Firstly the donations received from the riders’
supports the work we undertake with the less able
and disadvantaged riders who donate only a nominal
amount towards therapy sessions supported by
Lancashire Children’s Fund.
Secondly, it is vital to the horses and ponies that
they are stretched mentally and physically on a
regular basis to prevent boredom and to sustain
fitness. The slower work during the week is not
enough to address this need.
Lords House Farm is also keen to promote integration
of able and less able riders and to ensure that the
charity is perceived as an organisation open to all
the community and is not exclusively for those with
a need or disability.
We usually have a short waiting list for places on
our lessons. Please apply for a Riding Pack that
will give you all the information you need to begin
your lessons with us. Horse riding is a brilliant
form of exercise and many ‘new’ riders, young and
old, have benefited from weekly lessons. Lessons can
be accessed through your GP in some cases as part of
a health related exercise programme. Consult your GP
for further details.
Hats, Boots & Jodhpurs are available to purchase on
site.
