Training

Mark and Joanna offer tuition and practice in any of the driving disciplines, along with beginner’s lessons, and a key part of our work is in training horses to be driven, and schooling them to higher levels of performance.

We have safe, sound, forward going horses for you to learn on if you don’t bring your own.

Beginners lessons will be with the famous Topper (and Mark or Joanna!)
