Lessons
At Natura Hípica, we have 4 levels of classes which are divided as follows.
BABY PONI Group - from 3 to 7 years of age
We welcome young riders from the age of 3 years old. At this "sponge" age, the children quickly acquire balance on the pony and, always through play, learn to manage and lead the animal in the arena but also on small outings around the premises. We have some beautiful and quiet trails where we also offer initiation to hitching in trailers and cross country.
At NATURA HÌPICA, not everything is about riding, we seek above all to develop in each student love, respect and empathy for equines, animals in general and the environment. At the beginning and end of each class, we teach how to take care of the pony, brush it, and reward it after work. We clean the paddock and feed the pony. We share in group moments in which we develop team spirit, complicity and companionship.
LITTLE TOOLS Group - from 8 years old
For all beginners over 7 years old. The philosophy and teaching is the same as that of Baby Pony, but the technique is more advanced. From this age, for those who wish, we begin classes in hippology (theoretical study of horses and riding), and prepare them to pass their official "Galop" exams, awarded by the Royal Spanish Equestrian Federation.
ALPHA BÀSIC Group - from 8 years old with no age limit
Open to a more experienced audience of riders who have Galop 1 and 2 or have a level of Galop 1 and 2. We continue to work on all disciplines, incorporating and polishing basic equestrian techniques. We begin to define categories of riders according to their preferences (dressage, jumping, complete, Pony Games, trec, raid). Always following the will and rhythm of each rider, we introduce the students to the world of competition. All the classes still have a huge playful part, essential to the learning and stimulation of the rider: gymkhana, routes, team games, carousels with background music etc. . . .
SUPERIOR ALPHA Group
Suitable for an experienced audience of riders with Galop 3 and above or Galop level 3 and above. At this level, horsemanship and technification classes are at a maximum. The students already have their equestrian preferences defined, and most of them compete. Students ride in class but also on weekdays during their free time. They are assigned a pony which they will train throughout the competition season. The relationship between the pupil and his pony becomes even more fused. Work, rigour and perseverance are the order of the day, but also good humour, team spirit (as some competitions are held in groups) and the desire to improve oneself. And not because we are part of the Alfa Superior group, we do not leave aside the recreational part, far from it!
