Run by Olivia Pollard, Pioneer is one of only two Mary Wanless Ride With Your Mind accredited schools in the UK, using biomechanics-based techniques to improve rider posture, body awareness and core stability. Lessons are predominantly one-to-one to allow proper attention to detail, with established pupils sometimes coached two at a time. Suitable for everyone from complete beginners to experienced riders looking to refine technique, including nervous returning riders. Facilities include an outdoor arena, gallops, lunge pen, horse walker and access to 400 acres of hacking. Equine-facilitated therapy and learning also offered.
