No matter what your age or ability as long as you are over 4 years of age and under 80kg we will do our best to make your experience at Foxhills a pleasurable one. We have a maximum weight limit for the protection and welfare of our horses. For more information please click here.
To fulfil both our statutory obligations under the Animal Welfare Act 2006 and to ensure the welfare of our horses and ponies following British Horse Society guidance upon horse weight allocations, we have rider weight limitations for each of our horses and ponies. For this reason we may ask you to step onto measurement scales.
We offer lessons in a group, one to one and semi-private. Throughout your
lesson you will have maximum time in the saddle.
Our instructors are extremely experienced and friendly and will nurture your
potential to its full extent. As you progress with your riding you will be
offered the chance to move up grades to the next level and even enjoy rides
out off the premises.
No matter what your age or ability, your very first lesson will be a taster
lesson so that we can decide where to start you off and for you to decide
whether you want to continue.
All lessons are non refundable and must be paid for in advance on our online
booking system. All lessons will go ahead unless the instructor decides otherwise.
If we cancel a lesson we will give you as much notice as possible and credit
your ecpro account accordingly.
All lessons cancelled by the customer within 24-hour of the lesson. All fees
already paid will be forfeited as it will be impossible to re-sell that lesson
in such a short space of time. More than 24 hours notice and a credit is issued
to your ecpro account.
ALL riders must be on our premises and ready to ride at least 15 minutes before the lesson start time. This gives us time to get all riders mounted and ready to ride. Late arrivals may lose their lesson so please allow plenty of time to get here. Road works are a common problem at weekends.
Call us on 0121 360 9160 if you think you may be late and we can advise you.

What to wear: Whether you are a complete beginner or an
accomplished rider Hats and boots are an important part of rider safety. Although
we do not expect riders to go out and buy expensive safety wear we do need
all riders to wear comfortable riding boots and safety hat. There are lots
of places that sell inexpensive boots but hats have to conform to a set safety
standard. Boots can be short, just above the ankle which is what we recommend
or long just below the knee. The toe part of these boots allow for plenty
of free movement within the stirrups. Hats can either be hired from us or
purchased from a reputable horse riding tack shop. Hats must be original and
not a clever imported copy and have the British Standard kite mark and also
a PAS number of 2011 or greater. Be very aware that there are lots of copies
on the market especially on the internet. We will check your hat to ensure
it complies. A rider safety hat can be hired from us at a cost of £1 for group
lessons ( free for private lessons) For further information or advice please
call us on 0121 360 9160. Riding jodhpurs/breeches are perfect but initially
Long trousers/ leggings or trackie bottoms or jeans (but not too baggie) are
allowed. T/sweat/shirt, is ok non baggy jacket etc dependant on the weather.
No jewellery is allowed except a pair of small ear studs. It is highly important
that all clothing and protective equipment fit the rider correctly and with
a high level of comfort. If you are buying short riding boots (recommended)
it is suggested you purchase ½ chaps. A combination much better than long
riding boots.
Local to Foxhills is a very good Tack shop with qualified hat fitters. Jonties
Equestrian will be only too pleased to measure and fit a correct riding hat.
Please remember that for a riding hat to be used for lessons it must have
the British kite mark and a PAS number greater than 2011 inside. Our office
staff will provide you advice upon request. You can contact Jonties on 07877
205589. Open 6 days 10am to 4pm closed on Mondays.
ON ARRIVAL Please drive up the driveway to the first car park and our arena is through the gate
