Lausanne
Riding instructor in Lausanne
Lausanne is a city built on a slope, and that shapes coaching here more than anything else. Sessions run from the lakeside at Ouchy and the sports grounds at Vidy up through Montchoisi to Chalet-à-Gobet at around 870 metres — which in practice means two seasons rather than one. Down by the water the season stretches from spring well into autumn; up above the city, conditions and facilities carry you through the months when the lakeside is unusable.
The city also has an unusually international population for its size, between the university, the EPFL and the sporting bodies headquartered here. Most of our coaches in Lausanne work in French and English, and a good number in German — tell us in the notes which you prefer and we will take it into account when we arrange your session.
Horse and stable are part of the booking
You do not need your own horse. The session includes a suitable horse matched to your level, which matters more than anything else about a riding lesson — a nervous rider on the wrong horse learns nothing except to be more nervous.
What a private lesson covers
Position and seat for beginners; flatwork and transitions for most; jumping or trail work for confident riders. Say honestly where you are when you book, including how long since you last rode.

Common questions
I have never ridden. Is that fine?
Yes, and it is a normal booking. The first lesson is mostly about getting comfortable and learning to stop.
What should I wear?
Long trousers and boots with a small heel. A helmet is compulsory and provided if you do not have one.
Can children book?
Yes, with instructors who work with that age group. Tell us the age and any previous experience.
