Individual Lessons:
Private lessons are available by arrangement. I normally find that 45 minute sessions work best but this can be varied depending on the horse and rider combination. However, in some situations it may be feasible to arrange semi-private sessions.
Cancellation Policy:
I never like to be too formal with my work but as I am getting busier and busier I do need to make sure
that if someone cannot make a session then it is either offered to someone on the waiting list or a cancellation
fee is payable.
Within 24 hours of the booked lesson: Full session price to be paid.
Within 1 week of the clinic date then, if the space cannot be filled, half of the session price is payable.
Prices:
Private session - £35.00 for 45 minutes
Semi-private session - £20.00 each for 45 minutes
Travel is 40p per mile when the lesson is outside of a 10 mile radius
of home.
I can now offer sessions where you can come to me at Bury Farm E.C.. The session charge is £45.00 which includes school hire in one of the indoor schools. If the session is booked for the outdoor or large new indoor the school hire fee will be more.
Contact Simon to arrange a session.
I am now going to giving clinics once per month at Bury Farm and the cost per session will be £45.00 but this will be in the brand new indoor school. See the Clinics page for dates and to book a session please contact Bury Farm directly.
Schooling Work
Simon schooling the horse is the same as a 45 minute private session at £35.00.
Working the horse on the lunge or in hand is regarded as a 45 minute session at £35.00.
This includes the rider warming the horse up, I work the horse in-hand and then sit the rider back on.
All prices are to have travel added on where applicable.
Clinics:
These are available by arrangement. I prefer to only teach private lessons as I believe that this allows me the best opportunity to work with the student.
I am currently teaching clinics in Bedfordshire, Surrey, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire, Cambridgeshire and now in Ireland.
Please check the 'Clinics' page for dates.
Please e-mail Simon for further details and prices on the UK clinics.
Schooling Liveries:
I am now in a position where I can take schooling liveries in. They will come to Bury Farm where the care at the yard is excellent.
I will work the horse 4/5 times a week depending on the particular needs. This work can be ridden, in-hand double lunge / long reining or normal lunging. The plan can be adapted to suit the individual needs of the horse in question.
- Bury Farm will provide a 7 day week part livery service.
- I will school and care for the horse over and above this.
- The horse has to come for a minimum of 7 days although there is no upper limit on the stay.
- For short durations turn out may not be possible due to the sensible worming programme that Bury Farm employ.
- The horse will have access to the horse walker on a daily basis
- The horse will need to have 3rd party Insurance.
- There will be a £50 deposit to Bury Farm refundable on leaving.
E-mail Simon for prices and availability.
Competing Horses:
I am happy to compete horses subject to a prior assessment. Fee is dependant on location.
Contact Simon.
Video Analysis:
If you have a video clearly showing your position and how you ride then why not send it to me for a personalised critique. Still photographs can sometimes give the wrong impression. I find it much easier to look at a video of someone riding in order to really give sound advice as to where they could improve both themselves and their horse.
The cost for this is £20.00 and includes the return of the tape plus a written analysis of both horse and rider.
If you are interested please e-mail Simon for further information.
