A Perfect Horse
Gideon is a 100% bomb-proof bay gelding who has five paces: walk, collected trot, medium trot, collected canter and medium canter. He is ideal for riders wanting a gentle return to riding, to improve position and muscle tone and for generally keeping fit.
This makes him ideal for nervous / novice riders as well as those who are returning to riding after injury or long break.
A saddle is provided but if you wish to use your own this is possible.
Outside trainers and instructors are welcome.
It is possible to have a lesson on Gideon or, once you are familiar with him, to use him on your own.
Prices are as follows:
½ hour lesson: £23.00
½ hour working on your own: £10.00
Gideon is a Racewood Riding Simulator.
Testimonials:
"Having ridden regularly for most of my life, it was a terrible blow to have to give up for a year due to serious illness. However, it was always my intention to return to riding as soon as I was well enough. But after such a long break, it was only to be expected that my balance, fitness, and most of all my confidence were seriously affected. On Sally’s advice, I took a few lessons on Gideon, and it wasn’t long before my confidence and balance were restored enough to enable me to get back on a real horse, and I am slowly working on improving my fitness with regular sessions on Gideon. I would definitely recommend Gideon to nervous starters, anyone returning to riding after any lengthy absence, or indeed to anyone wishing to improve any aspect of their riding skills, or even their general fitness levels. Thanks to Sally and Gideon for giving me back the confidence to ride again!" Rebecca Watkins
