Once you have created an account on EC Pro please add riders to the account and fill in the insurance forms that are necessary before you can book.
Once you have done this there will be a red note at the top of your account saying that you have ungraded riders and may not be able to see all lesson options.
Ungraded riders can still see all private/assessment lesson availability. Young children can also see the lead rein groups. Just chose “make a booking” go to your preferred date and all appropriate lesson types will be there for you to choose.
If you cannot see any availability, please look much further ahead especially if you are looking at peak times like weekends.
If you still cannot see availability, please check that the rider's D.O.B. is correct or that you are not over the 13st beginner weight limit. You would be surprised how many people cannot book as they did not change their DOB from 2022 and the system will not let you book if it thinks you are under 3 years old!
You will need a member of staff to grade the riders on your account if you wish to share a lesson with somebody else or to join a hack, group lesson, (except lead rein) pony club, and own a pony days.
We do not allow riders to share lessons unless both riders are already well established in rising trot and trotting without stirrups independently, without a lunge line.
Children will need to be confident cantering to be able to do an own a pony day and during these days we do a lot of hacking out to the bridleways via the roads escorted by mounted staff.
We also offer beginner activity afternoons for children not quite at this level. Keep an eye on our Tandridge priory riding Centre Facebook and Instagram pages for the dates for these.
Own a pony day’s can be found under “activity courses” at the very bottom of the make a booking page. They run mon-fri during all school holidays.
PLEASE keep checking in with your instructor if you are working towards being graded to join a group or hacking session.
You cannot choose your instructor on the booking system it will only show a number and letter which allocates space in our riding arena so it does not matter which number you choose.
If you have a preferred instructor and specific goals, then please add this to your booking note. We will always endeavor to give you your preferences however, we are a huge establishment and when working with animals the days can change dramatically! We have a fantastic array of instructors, and we are confident that you will learn invaluable skills from all of them.
