Practical tips for progressing in pony riding
To evolve serenely, learning the rules and balance constitutes the foundation of any future progression. These fundamentals are taught from the first contact at the club or equestrian center.
Safety rules and basic techniques
From Galop 1, safety is paramount. The young rider learns to approach their animal calmly and to lead it by hand. This foundation is essential for all riders, both children and adults.
Knowing how to mount and dismount correctly is a basic technique. It protects the back of the pony and ensures the stability of the person.
Tips for mounting, dismounting, and maintaining balance
Discovering balance at the walk is a key step. It is important to understand the functioning of one's body to remain stable.
At Galop 2, stability at the sitting trot is sought. Then, Galop 3 introduces bending for better direction. Regular practice during lessons or camps during school holidays allows reaching one's goal of level.
The pleasure of this sport arises from this gradual mastery, from Galop 1 to Galop 4.
Training and camps suitable for all levels
The training and camps are designed to meet the expectations of everyone, from beginners to advanced. Our equestrian center and pony club offer a complete range for each level, supervised by qualified professionals.
Discovering the Galop objectives and their stages
The program from Galop 1 to Galop 4 structures the technical progression of riders within the club. Each federal exam validates specific skills with our horses.
At Galop 4, the exercises include starting to gallop by achieving balance. Working on wider jumps marks a key step towards mastery.
Initiation and improvement program for children and adults
Our group lessons are organized by homogeneous level groups. This ensures quality teaching for each rider, whether a child from 6 years old or an adult.
During the school holidays, intensive camps of one week allow for rapid progression. Children and adults enjoy a friendly atmosphere to achieve their goals through regular practice.
Fun workshops and discovery sessions
The workshops are designed for each child to develop their psychomotor skills through interaction with our ponies. The pleasure of the sport is at the heart of the learning process.
Each rider learns to mobilize their body to better communicate with their horse. This bond with the animal is essential.
The discovery sessions adhere to strict safety standards. The functioning of our online platform includes rigorous management of cookies for reservations.
