The club is the brainchild of owner Sue Nevill-Parker who says "The quality of horses we have will always be the best teaching aid but the additional facilities reinforce the learning experience and enable us to offer more courses to more riders. I am passionate about Classical Horsemanship and I believe that Club membership is the way forward for our specific approach to learning and riding."
The new facilities include a therapy room which is a quiet, open space for private sessions with either Philippa Morrell (Alexander Technique) or Sarah Merriam Pierce, (Feldenkrais and Pilates). It also has a TV and DVD/Video player and is large enough to accommodate 30 - 40 people for lectures and meetings. Our regular 1-day FL&AT (Feldenkrais, Lunging and Alexander Technique) courses begin here. The library provides an area where you can browse through the large number of books, DVDs and videos or just chat, make a cup of tea or share a meal or a glass of wine with friends. And after a hard days riding, where better to relax than in the spa listening to your favourite music and letting the heat of the sauna or the bubbles of the hot tub soothe away any aches and pains.
On-site accommodation is available in four self contained units, each with kitchen, living space bedroom and bathroom. They allow individuals and small groups to enjoy an equestrian mini break away from the stresses of work and home so that the can indulge their passion for all things horsey.
As a member of the Arrow Equestrian Club you have access to all these facilities, regular newsletters plus exclusive use of a small selection of specialist horses. These horses enable the amateur rider to experience the correct feel of advanced work on a trained horse, something that is difficult to find in this country. (Temporary membership is also available for introductory lessons)
Sue Nevill-Parker is the Club trainer and provides a highly developed level of riding tuition having studied with a number of gifted teachers both in riding and a wide range of complementary techniques. She works with the other practitioners and a small selection of like minded equestrian trainers from the UK and abroad. The wealth of expertise is truly remarkable and includes world renowned US author and teacher Erik Herbermann and Portuguese classical trainer Filipa Valenca who are regular visitors to Arrow and club members receive a discount on these and other courses.
In addition, Arrow Equestrian offers tuition in work-in-hand, long reining, TTEAM (Tellington Touch Equine Awareness method), and jumping and all of this and more is offered to participants at the annual Arrow Week from August 1st - 6th.
