Course Information for Students

Who is this course for?

Improve Your Riding is aimed at confident, balanced and competent riders who have riding experience.

Entry Requirements

You must be at least 14 years of age and an accomplished rider at walk, trot and canter and you should be able to maintain a balanced position over a pole.

Please ring Amy Alexander, Centre Manager, to have a chat prior to the course to ensure that it is the right choice for you.  Tel: 07970 726830.

In order for us to ensure the welfare of our horses, we operate a personal weight restriction of 13 stone. All riders will be weighed and have a ride assessment prior to the start of the course.

What will you learn?

The focus is on improving personal riding skills. 

We have a range of horses at the College but – as their welfare is paramount – you will only be mounted on horses which suit your height, weight and ability.

This could narrow down the selection of horses we can offer you.

How will you learn?

This course will be delivered on-site at Broomfield Hall Equestrian Centre.

What will you need to bring with you?

You will be required to supply your own:

  • Correctly fitted and up to current safety standard riding hat
  • Riding gloves
  • Specific riding footwear
  • Correctly fitted and up to current safety standard body protector for pole work

How will you be assessed?

There will be no formal assessment although you will receive verbal feedback during and at the end of each lesson and will be set targets for improvement.

Where next?

We also offer a wide range of other land-based topics – please see the Derby College Group Part-time Prospectus or the Derby College Group website for a full list and details.

Who do you contact for more information?
