Joining the school riding weekly needs to be paid monthly in advance and you commit to agreed slot e.g. Thursday at 15.30. To confirm, a screenshot of payment must be sent to your MALO WhatsApp group.<\/p>

One cannot change that booked\/allocated slot, so if unable to make it, for whatever reason, there is no refund or carryover to the next month. You can always book an additional lesson.<\/p>

* 22,000 pr mth \/ weekly lesson
* 14,000 pr mth \/ weekly lesson for children 5 and under.<\/p>

Prices for additional individual lessons not in monthly payment. Must be paid before the ride..
* 5,000 adult & children
* 3,000 Children 5 and under. You can only book individual extras if already riding paying monthly. You can also buy extras for friends. You can buy extra fixed slots. That would be the 20k\/12k per day per mth.<\/p>

If you want to sign up for monthly lessons pls forward your weight, height, experience and preferred day\/times so we can check availability of suitable horse and trainer.<\/p>

If you want to buy or lease, please check the horses available on MALO Stables Facebook or let me know about your experience and what you\u2019d be looking for in a horse.<\/p>

Please pay for your weekly lessons every month to the Paybill below<\/p>

* Business no: 542542
* Acc No: 00800578902010<\/p>

Send a screenshot of your payment to your personal MALO WhatsApp group, so we can register your payment. The bank doesn\u2019t always show names. And you all pay same amounts so impossible to track.<\/p>

MALO staff receives regular training in riding instruction, equine medical care and First Aid. Every 6 months Moses a professional nurse and first aider comes for the day to MALO and teaches all staff.

    Learning to ride from scratch is also an option. We also only do one-on-one as we start with lunge lessons, where the horse is controlled by the instructor on a long rope (the lunge) so the rider is free to concentrate on seat and balance which is the most important skill to get established before taking the reins.<\/p>

    We run clinics \u2013 courses, with professionals from abroad as often as possible. Kenya is, however, far from the epicentre of the sport, which is Europe and North America; hence, it is difficult and costly to organize regularly.<\/p>

    Contact us to ask when the next one is. Our regular riders have priority, however you are always welcome to come and watch. Or become a \u2018regular\u2019\u00a0\"\ud83d\ude09\"<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t

      We also organize shows for our regular riders and \u2013 depending on numbers, invite riders in the Nairobi horse community to join. These shows teach MALO riders how to participate in shows and give the confidence to venture on to the shows offered by Horse Association of Kenya. All staff at MALO have many years show experience.

      On school holidays we occasionally organize a 3-4 day pony camp.<\/p>

      Many children come with their own pony, however there is of course the option of riding ours, though we only have a few ponies most of our steeds are horses.<\/p>

      The children bring tents and stay in our garden the entire camp. They are taught to look after their horse themselves, feed, grooming and
      tack. Ride morning and evening and have lessons in between in welfare, health, upkeep, equipment, rules and techniques (theory)\u2026 we do quizzes and watch films. Have Bonfires and play games \u2026 normally a hoot\u00a0\"\ud83d\ude42\"<\/p>

      We wrap up the pony camp with a small show.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t
