All children who begin their riding tuition at Reddish Vale Farm start on our walkout lessons. These lessons are group lessons, each pony has a leader leading the pony and there is an instructor to the whole group. All children are insured from 4 years.

• To establish balance
• To increase confidence
• To hold the reins correctly
• To maintain the child’s interest
• The aids for walk
• The aids for trot
• The ability to direct the pony
• The embellishment of a rhythmic rising trot.

Once your child is competent at the above they may then progress onto lessons in the ménage. We have decided to introduce progressive level system to provide an incentive for improvement, and a means by which our instructors may monitor each child’s progression.

The walkouts will cover level one through to level five, after which the child will be considered for transition to the ménage. The content of each level is displayed on the notice board. Once the child has grasped and developed the skills within the level, they will be awarded a certificate to mark their achievement.
