Our Horses

Our horses are at the heart of Teach Me Happy Riding School and play a key role in delivering high-quality horse riding lessons in York. Carefully selected for their calm temperament, reliability, and willingness, they help create a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment for every rider.

Each horse is well-schooled and suited to a range of abilities, from complete beginners to more experienced riders. Whether you are building confidence for the first time or looking to progress your riding, we carefully match every rider with the right horse to ensure a positive, confidence-building experience.

Carefully Selected & Well Cared For

We place a strong emphasis on horse welfare and take pride in the standard of care our horses receive. Their wellbeing is our top priority, ensuring they remain happy, healthy, and ready to support our riders.

Our horses benefit from:

Regular health checks and professional care
Suitable workloads and plenty of rest
Ongoing training and schooling
A calm, consistent routine

This allows us to provide safe, reliable horses that riders can trust.

The Right Horse for Every Rider

We understand that every rider is different. That’s why we take the time to carefully pair each rider with the right horse for their lesson. This helps to build confidence, create trust, and ensure a positive and rewarding experience every time.

For riders with additional needs, including those with Special Educational Needs (SEN), our horses are chosen specifically for their calm and understanding nature, helping to create a relaxed and supportive environment.
