About us

Harness Change at Cumbria Rural Academy CIC offers an extensive range of horse-riding experiences for all ages and abilities set amidst the breathtaking scenery of the southern Lake District. As a Community Interest Company (CIC) our primary goal is to serve the community rather than maximise profit.

Our qualified coaches and talented, well-schooled horses offer private or group lessons in Classical Dressage, jumping and showing, Pony Club lessons and activities, Tiny Tots sessions for ages 2 to 7 as well as woodland hacks and exhilarating fell rides for experienced riders.

 

We have specialist instructors in Riding For the Disabled and as an Approved Centre with the BHS Changing Lives Through Horses programme we are pleased to be able to offer Alternative Education.

 

We also offer bespoke Corporate Training workshops using Equine Facilitated Learning to enhance leadership, communication and teamwork.

 

Our horses are at the centre of everything we do. It is important to us that they enjoy their work to make learning with us a life-affirming experience.
