The leasing scheme is growing in popularity where clients lease a pony to keep on working livery and treat as their own.  The scheme includes a weekly lesson and removes the risk of first time buying and helps parents on the learning curve as they and their children enjoy the support needed to look after a pony.

Sundays have been opened up for lessons which will suit those with Saturday school and those with Saturday sporting commitments.

Saddle Club also runs for Shadows and Seniors age 10+.
