What We Offer: The Arrow Equestrian Centre offers a quiet haven where the high standards of Classical Riding are promoted and maintained alongside a range of complementary techniques and therapies The Rider Listening to the horse with your eyes, ears, body and heart is the first step to Classical Riding. To “listen” one must first learn to be “quiet” and this is only possible through a correctly balanced seat. Sue Nevill-Parker will help you to master the core skills of body awareness, balance and control so that you can ride with feel and sensitivity. The Arrow Horses The Arrow schoolmasters also play a key role in helping riders develop this correct “feel” for what is right and will enable students to experience the more advanced movements. Whether you are a complete beginner or have been riding for years, we have a horse that will teach you how to ride with elegance and finesse . Your Horse Your horse will also benefit from what Arrow has to offer, initially because he/she will appreciate your improved riding skills. However, students who bring their own horse with them enjoy the added benefit of working together with the Arrow teachers. TTEAM work and work in hand is an excellent way of improving trust and confidence between horse and rider and Arrow Equestrian is one of the few -places to combine this work with true Classical Riding. Short term schooling livery is also available for horses belonging to Arrow students. Cost from £195 pw. At Arrow Equestrian no horse is ever forced or fixed by gadgets or people. The Facilities Horses and humans learn best when they are mentally and physically relaxed and Weston House Farm in rural Herefordshire offers the perfect setting for Arrow Equestrian. The stabling, tack room, loo, small kitchen and all feed and bedding are under one roof with the indoor school just a few yards away. Dismounted work takes place in the comfort of a "therapy room" with under floor heating. Visitors can also enjoy the convenience of on-site self catering accommodation. The beautifully converted barn offers one en suite double room and a single room with a shared bathroom plus a well equipped kitchen and living room. A list of recommended local pubs, restaurants and B and B's is also offered. Lessons Sue Nevill-Parker specialises in lessons on the lunge, working on the rider’s position and the correct application of the aids. Even the most experienced rider will benefit from this work but once the basics have been mastered, riders will also benefit from working independently on a horse suitable to their level of experience. Lessons both on the flat and over jumps are usually on a one-to-one basis with many clients choosing to stay for several days taking 2 - 4 lessons a day. Lessons cost £53 for 1 hour
