Private Lessons at The Horse Place
Private lessons are ideal for students who want to work on specific points relevant to their own needs. Lessons are available all year round and can be booked from one to six hours per day either individually or shared by two or three students. Livery and full board accommodation is usually available if students want to stay to have daily lessons for a few days. If possible a day is reserved for private lessons after workshops or clinics, for students who wish to stay on for individual tuition.
Private lessons are priced at £50 per hour
Freelance Coaching
Both David and Alison are available to book for freelance coaching throughout the UK and German speaking regions of Europe. Freelance bookings can be taken for individuals or private groups of up to ten people. Alternatively, students may choose to host a course, open to the public, at their own venue. Typically, David and Alison’s schedule for freelance coaching would cover the east and north of the UK and Europe during spring and autumn, with more local bookings, south and south west, during the summer and winter months.

Distance Coaching
Most students are only able to attend workshops or clinics once or twice a year leaving many months without input from a Parelli Professional. Distance coaching is an ideal way to fill this gap. Distance coaching will give the student twice monthly contact with David or Alison in the form of either one email and one video or two emails.
The student will set the goals they are aiming to achieve during the first three months and David or Alison will suggest tasks and give advice to work towards those goals. With regular feedback and contact with the student, the plan can be adjusted to suit individual needs. For one specific problem, one off distance coaching also available. Videos to be kept under 10 minutes. Emails fewer than 400 words.
Distance Coaching is £40 per month with a 3 month minimum term. One off distance coaching at £40 per time.
Spectators
Spectators are welcome at all workshops and clinics at The Horse Place and by arrangement at some freelance bookings. Trainee 1* instructors are welcome to attend any clinics free of charge to shadow/support/assist David or Alison (by arrangement).
Working Students
David and Alison have working students with them all year round. This is an excellent way to progress your horsemanship in preparation for a career as a Parelli Professional. Students are invited to apply for these positions for a minimum of three months commitment.
Instructors Horsemanship Weeks
1* and 2* instructors are invited with or without their own horses to attend a horsemanship week. These are a series of private lessons throughout the week to concentrate on specific goals that instructors have. Those not wishing to bring a horse are invited to participate in an interactive spectator role whereby instructors who are spectating come with a question.
David and Alison will answer these questions with demonstrations with their own horses, simulations and any other means they think will help instructors to see/ feel/ understand the answer. These weeks are usually held during November and February/March and will be hosted by both David and Alison. Livery and full board accommodation is available.
Private Lessons £50 per hour, minimum one per day. Interactive Spectators £35 per day.
Livery
Livery includes forage and straw bedding but not hard feed or supplements and is available for horses staying for clinics or private lessons.
£15 per day or Inclusive with Clinic prices.
