Description
Come with friends and share a great time together. Ride in a group, sharing the same passion. Discover the lessons at the Equidéo Education Center, with your own horse or a schoolmaster horse (options to choose from). Once you have purchased your lessons, contact Sarah, your instructor, to schedule your available time.
Group classes consist of 2 to 6 people maximum. The price is the same whether there are 2 or 6 of you: it is therefore to be divided between you.
What awaits you:
More than just riding lessons, coaching with Sarah Fricoteaux offers a new understanding of your horse's psychology and behavior, revealing a multitude of details in each session that make all the difference in your relationship and partnership with your horse. Lessons begin on the ground and then progress to riding.
We want to make our horse a happy athlete, not just an obedient one. We want a true partner, motivated and willing, eager to do things with you, and who constantly asks questions. Communication means taking into account the needs and, above all, the feelings of the other.
What Sarah teaches:
- Connecting with your horse's mind and understanding the concepts of energy, tact, and the other's feelings
- Training in a relaxed manner and in response to subtle cues
- Developing your horse's confidence: in itself, in humans (and more specifically you, its rider), in the environment, in other horses, and in daring to learn new things
- Riding with a horse that is self-supporting and allows its rider to regulate its speed
- Developing the physique, healthy biomechanics, and flexibility of your horse
- Achieving harmony and performance with a happy horse, whatever the discipline chosen
Special conditions:
- Lessons must be booked in advance. Book by email, phone, direct message, or through the Equideo app. Payment for lessons can be made here in the shop or on-site (for lesson passes only; individual lessons cannot be paid for on-site), or by card, PayPal, or bank transfer.
- I travel to your stables for groups of 3 or more horses, 3 or more private lessons, or 2 or more group lessons. Just make your arrangements, and I'll be happy to come to your stable. Benefits: you can observe your friends' lessons, you reduce travel costs by sharing, it's motivating and helps you progress faster than learning in a group, and you'll see a wider range of riding situations. Important: the stable manager must be notified and must give their permission for my visit!
- You arrive at least 30 minutes early to take the time to connect with your horse (or one of ours), say hello, synchronize with him, prepare him, etc. When you start with us, fetching your horse, safely passing through gates, knowing the proper knots, performing a polite grooming, how to set up and adjust the equipment, etc., is already part of the course! Some lessons will not take place in the arena, for example, but in the horse paddock, on the preparation area, in the wash stall, etc. Training with a horse begins from the moment you already have it in sight and have an intention of interacting with it, even without having crossed the gate of the paddock.
- When we have assessed your autonomy to go and connect to the park with your horse, to bring it back, and then prepare it politely and safely, then you will be able to do it alone.
- If you are late, the class will end on time, otherwise you will make my day late!
- Horse riding is an outdoor sport, so dress accordingly. Lessons may be rescheduled in case of heavy rain, or adapted (ground exercises in the stable, riding posture lessons, etc.).
- Sometimes questions come to you after I've left, or when you get home. I'm always available to answer them in the mobile app, by email, or by message. Please also feel free to jot down any questions you may have about horses before your visit or before we meet, either on paper or on your phone. There are no silly questions, so don't leave them unanswered.
