Lessons

Bow Brickhill Stables offers lessons from the young beginner to the advanced level rider.  We have safe beginner horses (our youngest riders start at the age of 5, so we have wonderful, safe ponies for kids) as well as more advanced horses for seasoned riders.  Our horses are also available for showing.  Showing is not mandatory for our students but it is available to those who want to move in that direction.  For lesson pricing please look under the Boarding section of our website. We also offer horses for lease and sale.

Tik is offering a winter training series that comprises ground work, grid work and course work. For more information on Tik's training series click here.
