Riding School

Welcome to my riding school. I, Zoe Stevens, have lived at Plum Park Farm for over 20 years with my parents. I decided to set up my own business to provide both adults and children with riding experiences that I have grown up with. After taking the necessary teaching exams I am now fully qualified. The riding school is only part of my job here on our family run farm. Although I am the primary instructor of the riding school I also have many commitments across the different areas of the farm so Nikki is sometimes contracted in to cover lessons. She has many years experience teaching, including RDA. Nikki practically lives at Plum Park Farm along with her own horse so knows the riding school ponies, routine and clients very well.

Set in 100 acres of grass land with a fully established x/c course, we as a riding school are very lucky not only to use the sand menage but also have use of the fields. (weather permitting)

When I'm happy with the standard of riding I will allow riders to tackle some of the x/c fences under supervision. I pride myself on having small groups, normally no larger than 7 at a time.

I try to organise 'pony days' during school holidays where the children spend the whole day not only riding but learning
about the tack, stable management and day to day owning of a pony. Games are organised on these days and lunches are provided.

Little in house shows are also planned mainly in the summer, i.e. show jumping or dressage tests. Score sheets and rosettes are awarded.
