Bern
Riding instructor in Bern
Bern is wrapped in a loop of the Aare, and the riverside path that follows it is the best continuous running and cycling surface in any Swiss city — flat, shaded, and long enough that you rarely repeat yourself. In summer the river itself becomes the swimming venue, which is the single most Bernese thing about training here.
The city is compact and unhurried, and sessions here are easier to schedule than in Zurich or Geneva. Coaches work in German and English, with French common given the proximity to the language border.
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.
