Zurich
Riding instructor in Zurich
Zurich packs an unusual amount of usable ground into a small area: the lake shore for flat work, the Limmat and Sihl for river-side running, and the Uetliberg rising directly behind the city for anything involving a gradient. You can be on a forest trail eleven minutes from Hauptbahnhof, which is why the city trains outdoors far more than its weather reputation suggests.
It is also the largest market we serve and the one with the most demanding schedules. Early morning and post-work slots go first and go fast; midday is comparatively open. Most of our coaches here work in German and English, and several in French.
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.
