COWBOY riding classes are being offered by a North Yorkshire horse trainer.

The sessions will be held over three days next month at the Learning to Listen school, in Ilton, near Masham.

They have been organised by trainer Sarah Kreutzer.

She said: "We have arranged a series of Western sessions, with a highly-experienced and knowledgeable trainer, Megan Roughley.

"We have the most fantastic location up here, which makes Western riding even more fun - a log round pen, acres of fields, woodland, tracks and streams. We've even got our own saloon veranda."

Subjects covered include an introduction to Western riding equipment, obstacles and trail classes, Western horsemanship, barrel-racing and cow horse work.
