4 and a half year old Liam gets his first riding lesson on "Rainman"....
 


Junior Rider, Amber "gets a go" on our big school master, Cozmo.

Cozmo is a 16.2hh 21 year old Thoroughbred gelding. Cozmo's registered name is Without A Doubt, and he started life as a race horse, before becoming a Three Day Eventer at 3 Star level, before being given to Leasa as a 12 year old to start his Dressage Career. Cozmo trained to Prix St Georges level dressage with Leasa and competed successfully at official advanced level, until his retirement to the Riding School at age 16. Cozzy's forte is teaching riders the feel of the higher level dressage movements.
