Our Services

Equestrian Services

Willow’s Leap offers individual and small group lessons in cross country, show jumps, flat work plus so much more.

Horse Training

Lyndel has limited time (and space!) to take on horses to train, and specialises in introducing horses to cross country, providing a solid grounding for confident eventers of the future.

Flat Work

Two grass arenas, plus one floodlit sand arena, give us plenty of space. Lyndel’s focus is on teaching or consolidating the fundamentals of dressage, to give you solid foundations.

Cross Country

With over a hundred different jumps (all made to international standards), 4 separate jumping areas, 2 emergency doctors and full insurance, you couldn’t be in safer hands for your XC lesson.

Show Jumps

Boasting a full course of show jumps, we cater for everyone; from those just starting out, with poles and cavaletti, to basic grids, and all the way through to those jumping bigger tracks.

“I just wanted to say a very big THANK YOU for Wednesday’s clinic! It was by far the best cross country schooling I have ever done! Thank you very much for challenging us with tyres, related lines and narrow jumps! Your clinic has set a new bar of standard!”
