Trainers

We hope you will be happy with all of our Trainers but if you feel you are not getting the best from your lesson, please discuss your concerns with them or email our customer service. You are more than welcome to transfer to another Trainer if you wish. We aim to keep the Trainer of your choice for your lesson, but there are times of sickness, holidays, where this is not always possible and we are unable to let you know. But we guarantee that you will have a fantastic, highly qualified trainer as a replacement.

Horses

We choose the horses for your lessons and according to their work rota and we do not allow horse requests. Everyone has favourite horses and horses that they find more challenging, but that improve their riding.

Equipment & Safety

All riders are required to wear:

  • Their own riding hat and gloves, due to Covid-19 restrictions
  • Appropriate foot wear; boots or alternative with a slight heel (roughly half an inch)

We strongly recommend wearing:

  • Long sleeved tops
  • Gloves
  • Back protectors
  • Loose trousers; jodhpurs or leggings.

And that you do not wear:

  • Strappy Tops
  • Trainers
  • Jeans or Shorts

Accident Forms

Horses can sometimes be unpredictable and accidents occasionally happen. If you should have any kind of accident an Instructor will be on hand to assist you, implement First Aid if needed and/or get you back into your lesson. With any accident, however small, you will be required to complete an accident form. The Reception Team will assist you with this. We follow strict Health & Safety guidelines and you may receive a call after the lesson to see how you are.

Compliments and Feedback

If you would like to put forward a compliment, please email customer service who will pass it onto the relevant member of staff. We would also like to encourage you to put it in writing which we would then like to use in our ‘Customer Testimonials’ on our website.

If you have any complaints please speak to your Trainer straight away and we will assist in resolving your concerns as quickly as possible, keeping you informed every step of the way.

Contact Details

Please keep your details up to date with us. Our online booking system, will ask you to update your details annually. There are times when we may need to contact you or return your call and this is difficult to do if telephone numbers have changed. An email address is a great way for us to communicate as this rarely changes.

Courses and Training camp bookings

All Prestige Equestrian training camps and courses are checked for viability around ten working days before each course date. Any that have insufficient numbers may be cancelled. In this case, clients who have booked will receive a full refund or offered an alternative option.

All course and training camp fees are non-refundable if cancelled in less than 14 working days from the course start date. Cancellations prior to this will incur a 25% administration fee.

If a course is cancelled, each client will be phoned, advising them of the cancellation and offered either a full refund or transfer. It is important that each client ensures that we have their correct contact details. This must include a telephone number with an answering service and an email address. If messages are left for clients regarding a course cancellation, or if we are unable to leave a message and clients arrive for a course or activity that has been cancelled, it is their own responsibility and no refund will be given. If you have any queries please email us at enquries@prestige.training

At Prestige Equestrian we have 4 arenas, 2 indoor and 2 outdoor.  During the summer months we also have Show Jump, Cross Country and dressage paddocks available to use.   During busy periods we will use all four arenas as well as our paddocks. Although lessons are often held indoors, Prestige Equestrian does not guarantee indoor riding and clients should expect to ride both indoors and outdoors.  Please bring wet weather clothing for all lessons.
