Build a Special Bond
Every horse and pony has a distinct character, and part of the richness of riding lies in learning how to read each one and adapt your communication and behaviours accordingly. Riders naturally develop favourites, much like we do with people, yet the real skill is in forming a genuine connection with a wide variety of personalities. This ability to understand, listen and respond with emotional intelligence is a lifelong skill, and one of the most rewarding aspects of spending time with horses.
At Lavant Equestrian, this bond develops even more naturally thanks to our horses’ temperaments, natural outdoor lifestyle and high-quality schooling – all of which make a Lavant Equestrian horse genuinely easy to connect with and learn from.
Exceptional Horses, Exceptional Experiences
Lavant Equestrian is proudly different. Very few riding schools can offer the number and variety of quality horses and ponies that we do. We don’t rely on the traditional “safe but unresponsive” school cobs often associated with riding schools. Instead, our horses are well-bred, well-schooled, beautifully mannered and an absolute joy and privilege to learn with.
Crucially, they live outdoors as nature intended. This means they are happier, healthier, and noticeably more relaxed than stabled horses, creating a safer, more rewarding experience for everyone. This combination of quantity and quality is a genuine point of difference that riders quickly feel. If you’d like to get to know them better, you can meet our wonderful horses and ponies on our Horses page.
It’s this rare combination of exceptional horses and thoughtful management that makes riding at Lavant Equestrian unique and significantly more progressive than a typical riding-school experience.
