The Riding School

We offer riding tuition for all abilities from beginner to intermediate, from 4yrs upwards.
If you have never ridden before or you're an adult who rode as a child and is longing to give it another go, we would be delighted to see you. Perhaps you're an experienced rider who wishes to progress, maybe take some tests and recognised exams.

We are very child friendly and offer constructive, progressive and fun lessons. The children are encourged to join The Pony Club which ensures steady progression and a sure way to make lots of friends. Whatever your reason for joining us you are sure to receive a warm welcome by our friendly team of Instructors.

Rebecca White

The Yard Manager is Rebecca White who is a registered ABRS Instructor and NVQ assessor. She heads a happy and dedicated team of staff who are either fully qualified with the BHS or ABRS/NVQ or are training towards these exams as a career student. All of the Instructors have to obtain the necessary safety assessments, training and experience before building a client base themselves.
