Al Marmoom
Our riding classes follow the internationally recognized Riding for the Disabled UK (RDA) and Professional Association of Therapeutic Horsemanship International (PATH Intl.) standards, syllabus and best practices.

We provide structured, tailored classes for each individual dependent on ability and need. Our highly trained staff and volunteers are of RDA specified training and are fluent in their procedures and most importantly health and safety standards. Our expert staff along with our passion and drive help develop riders to their maximum potential and ensure that all students receive the best possible experience in which to progress and excel.

Horsemanship Lessons: Prior and in addition to our riding sessions we conduct lessons on horsemanship with each student. This involves ground work, learning how horses respond to each student and for these students to become more comfortable before beginning mounted riding lessons.

The riding lessons include these main stages:
Mounting: This is done from a ramp/ mounting block with the assistance of the volunteers and instructors, even pupils who are wheelchair bound are able to mount a horse in this environment.

The Lesson: The lessons are conducted at four levels depending on the ability and experience of the pupil. Lessons include walking /trotting, learning how to steer the horses, stop and start commands, coordination games, educational games and muscle strengthening exercises, all these activities are completed whilst on the horse.

Dismounting: This can also be completed on the mounting block or if the student is able in the arena enclosure.

Each class will include an instructor, a leader and one or two side supporters (depends on the rider’s abilities). This ensures the safety and comfort of the student allowing him/her to feel at ease in the lesson.

The riders form a unique rewarding bond with the horses which has huge emotional developmental benefits and helps to increase the student’s confidence.

Our classes are designed to be enjoyable and entertaining but more importantly tailored to push and challenge the pupils.
