All beginner lessons will be carried out with two sets of reins, a bit like having duel controls on a learner car.
When carriage driving, visibility is of paramount importance! Hi-viz vest will be provided for all persons on the carriage.
Please note that when driving in fields and along track, these may be bumpy, so this activity may not be suitable for people with back issues.
If you suffer from any health issues, please advise us when you make the booking, as a reasonable amount of mobility is required to mount the carriage.
