Accommodation
Facilities

Accommodation for the children can be provided on site in The Talland School of Equitation's purpose-built accommodation. Talland accommodation is in shared rooms.
Program
The Talland School of Equitation runs residential holiday courses for children throughout the year, but mainly in the Easter holiday and from the end of June to the end of August. The packages include accommodation on site with 24-hour supervision inclusive of meals, together with some evening entertainments and a weekend excursion for those staying longer than a week. Talland knows all of their staff well, and they are all trained in first aid and hold the necessary safeguarding qualifications.
The children will ride in a group of up to six children with others of similar ability. Talland assesses all riders in the first lesson on Monday or Sunday afternoon if there was time, so, they are suitably matched for the rest of the week. The children also take a stable management lecture each day. The subject is dependent on the current level. Talland's standard course can be seen below, or they can tailor something specific for more advanced riders, or those requiring individual tuition. An additional private lesson each day is very common.
