Nickys Riding School

Riding School

Lunging Lessons

New riders and beginners always begin with supervised riding sessions on a lunge line. This is where you’ll learn the fundamental skills of riding. We focus on ensuring you can sit securely in the saddle at different speeds and help you establish a foundational trust with your horse. Particularly with younger children, we conduct these sessions in a playful manner, adjusting the pace to ensure everyone feels comfortable and confident.

Jumping Lessons

When you’ve become comfortable riding independently, we’ll introduce you to poles and jumps. These exercises help improve balance and confidence. At our school, we prioritize safety and support, ensuring you learn at your own pace. Our goal is to help you master essential skills, including the basics of show jumping, in a relaxed and friendly environment.

Dressage Lessons

Dressage is a graceful discipline where horse and rider move as one, showcasing harmony, balance, and precision. In our dressage lessons, you’ll learn the art of communication through subtle cues, enhancing your horse’s responsiveness and grace. Whether you’re a beginner or an experienced rider, our classes focus on developing proper posture, control, and connection with your horse.

Outrides

At times, we add a touch of adventure to our training with scenic outrides. Exploring Namibia’s stunning landscapes, you’ll enjoy the beauty of nature while riding. Weather permitting, we even take the horses for a refreshing swim. This unique experience is open to everyone, including both regular students and visitors from out of town.

Horse Leasing

In our school, we offer students the chance to part-lease a school horse. This opportunity allows riders to experience what it’s like to own a horse and spend more time with them. It’s a valuable experience that provides insight into the responsibilities and joys of horse ownership.
