Lessons


Our lessons cater to young and old, offering group or individual lessons and there’s no need to worry about your ability as classes range from novice to experienced riders. We have instructors for all disciplines including dressage, show-jumping, x-country and polo-x. Even if you're only interested in getting some horsey skills before going on an outride or on holiday somewhere where riding is offered, let us know and we can fit you in for a lesson or two to make sure you have the basics under your belt.

You're welcome to pay for lessons as you have them although once you become a regular it's a good idea to look into a contract as there are discounts and perks that are well worth it.  is the cash rate and contract prices are now dependent on when people ride – see table below. This has been in effect as of .

 

How the contract system works


The system has been designed in a way that allows riders to have regular tuition and outrides at a reasonable rate. It is calculated over a period of 12 months and entitles the rider to weekly rides and lessons. There are at least 3 months of the year when a rider will ride 5 times that month. This allows for annual vacations. Should the rider not be able to make an appointment, but notify us at least 2 hours in advance, the session will be kept as a credit to be used at a convenient time to both rider and stables. The contract is individual and credits are not transferable to another person. Should the rider wish to discontinue their contract a calendar months notice is required. Should the rider need to temporarily (3 months or less) suspend their contract due to illness, vacation or business reasons, cash rates will apply.

Outrides


For those interested in something more relaxed, social outrides are offered during the week or weekends, catering to the experience of the rider. Depending on the weather Sunlands also offers moonlight rides. With a sherry keeping the chill at bay and Mongolian braai to fill the tummy afterwards - it's an evening well spent with a group of friends. Booking is essential for all outrides so please call at least 24hours ahead to book your spot.

 

Please don't hesitate to speak to Claudia or Sarah regarding fees for any of the above.
