Horsemanship Taster Days Are Back….

by Chris Morris

Our popular Horsemanship ‘Taster’ Days are back on the calendar and have a special offer available

come and spend the day at the farm (socially distant of course!) and come and try your hand at some of the techniques you may have always wanted to try, or if you’re new to horses and want to to spend the day something different! You’ll get a flavour of what’s taught on the longer courses and learn some horse behaviour and why we work our horses the way we do… try your hand at the obstacle course, or maybe you’ve always wanted to try some Join-Up.. this is your chance… see the Taster Day page for details

Course calendar Updates….

by Chris Morris

Now we’ve partially opened the business after the Covid shutdowns, I have had to rework the course calendar so I could reschedule all the work that’s been postponed during lockdown.. more dates have been added including additional dates for the big 2 week Monty Roberts Introductory Course of Horsemanship  & so we can all distance while we learn I’ve reduced maximum numbers on courses for the rest of the year.. View the calendar here & if none of the dates work for you don’t forget we have a number of Private teaching options available on request

Back to work

by Chris Morris

With the beginning of the lockdowns being eased, I am happy to announce the partial opening of the business.. albeit with some minor changes..

All of Monty Roberts Courses  listed on the calendar will be going ahead as planned. I have permanently reduced student numbers on the courses for the rest of the year to allow for distancing, and we will provide everyone with their own equipment so there is no sharing of lines and halters. We are also in the fortunate position of being on a private large yard so we can easily spread out.   We also have ample supply of alcohol gel!
For those of you outside of Sussex who require accommodation, as hotels in the area will not be until July I have added additional dates into the calendar for late summer/early Autumn so this shouldn’t be an issue later in the year.

For those of you that have booked on courses that were postponed you all would have received a re-booking email with alternate dates and arrangements and I look forward to finally meeting you all.

All Private 1:1 Courses and Private 1/2 & Full Day Lessons bookings are going ahead from 1st July however I am extremely booked up with these over the summer so please book as early as possible to avoid disappointment.

So I can catch up with existing client work I will not be undertaking any “new” call out work until mid August so please get in touch to book appointments from late summer onwards.

We look forward to welcoming you back to the farm now that you’re allowed out!

For those of you interested in the big 2 week Monty Roberts Course of Horsemanship, the June course is down to the last place, but due to hotels/motels in the area being closed if you are outside of Sussex area you may struggle to find accommodation… We are however running the course again in August & we’ve just added additional October dates as well. by which time hotels in the area will be open.

Looking forward to lockdowns being lifted and getting out and about? Come and spend 2 weeks in the fresh air learning in depth horse psychology & behaviour and getting to know and work with our horses. The course is always an eye opener. Click the link for all the  Course for details
