Initial Individual needs assessment

(Non-Riding)

Before booking any lessons, we conduct a non-riding assessment for new riders. This session allows our coaches to meet the rider, understand their specific needs, and determine the appropriate level of support. This initial assessment usually takes about 30 minutes.

Lessons for Supported Riders

Our programs are designed to be fun, engaging, and educational. Activities are tailored to improve abilities and skills.


Riders can experience:

Depending on the rider's needs, there will be 1–3 volunteers to provide support by leading and side-walking.
