Horse Riding Lessons @ Meet the Minis

While our main focus here at Meet the Minis is our Miniature Horse Interactions, we also have larger (regular) sized horses that we do use for riding.

We offer fun, casual lessons for people of all ages.

Specializing in building confidence and a love for these majestic animals and the sport.

We now offer various types of lessons, all very enjoyable and comprehensive.

Arena Lessons - R200pp

Suited to all over the age of 7yrs old. Perfect for absolute beginners.

These are your regular lessons in a fenced in arena.
Your instructor watching and giving instructions from the ground.

These lessons include 10-15 minutes of your lesson time preparing your horse before the riding part.

Arena Lessons are 45-55 minutes in duration.

We recommend you do Arena Lessons for the first 3 to 4 lessons, and then advance on to a Horsemanship Lesson.

Lesson 1

 

Tiny Tots Lessons - R150pp

Suitable for children 2 - 6 years old.

Designed for younger children to get a feel for horse riding and a love these magnificent animals. Keeping it fun and interactive for short attention spans.

These are 30 minute long, individual lessons. Often on a lead rein and focusing on balance and getting the child's position correct.

Tiny Tot Lesson

Horsemanship Lessons - R320pp

Suited to all over 7yrs old with a little bit of previous horse riding experience.

Modelled after the historic US Cavalry style of lessons.

Students prepare their horses for riding, then mount up.

A horsemanship lesson begins with a short demonstration of the day's skill by the mounted instructor and the students trying to do the new skill. This part of the lesson lasts around 20 minutes.

After that the lesson group will leave the arena for a "Follow me!" ride out over terrain.

Horsemanship Lessons are approximately 2.5 hours in duration.
