Equestrian Masterclasses
Throughout the year Mount Juliet will host an exciting range of equestrian masterclasses. These masterclasses have been designed to cover many different aspects of horse-riding from show-jumping to hunting. For example Confidence Building in Jumping is a three day course that will be run regularly through-out the year which aims to develop the rider's jumping position. Riders will gain confidence as they school the basics with the use of trotting poles and work a course of fences and progress out onto our cross-country course schooling facility.
