After lunch Larissa will have a clinic in the riding hall about the healthy training of a riding horse. She will talk about important basics of biomechanics and how we can help our horse to build up the right muscles to carry the rider correctly. We will set goals for the riding lessons the next days and get to know the horses.

We leave the horses at a neighbour farm and drive back to Hekluhestar farm for a traditional lunch at the farm. After lunch we drive to Kjarr horses stable. There everyone will have a private riding lesson with Larissa on a horse that we picked according to each riders goals. Every lesson will be individually planned after your wishes.

Við óskum ykkur gleðilegs nýs árs og vonum að þið hafið haft það gott yfir hátíðarnar með fjölskyldu og vinum.

Viltu auka kjark og þor á baki? Við bjóðum upp á einkatíma til þess að auka vellíðan og jafnvægi á hestbaki. Kennsluhestur er til staðar sem er vel þjálfuður og rólegur. Hægt er að fá einkatíma á honum í reiðhöllinni á Kjarri eða úti á fallegum reiðvegum. Einnig bjóðum við upp á sætisæfingar í hringtaum til þess að bæta ásetu knapans og öryggi hans. Okkar markmið í kennslu er að hjálpa hverjum knapa að bæta sína reiðmennnsku á sínum forsendum. Kennarar eru Eggert Helgason og Larissa Silja Werner, reiðkennarar frá Háskólanum á Hólum. Frekari upplýsingar og tímapantanir fást í gegnum einkaskilaboð eða í síma 8601314 (Eggert)
