About us
More than riding.
A riding centre is really a collection of small routines: the sound of the yard at seven in the morning, the horse that always leans on the left rein, the rider who finally sits to the trot.
What we stand for
Three things we come back to.
- BHS Approved Riding School & Livery Yard
- BHS Where to Train Centre
- Pony Club Training Centre
Confidence
Progress in riding is rarely dramatic. It's the moment a nervous rider stops gripping and starts breathing.
Connection
A horse reads you before you've picked up the reins. Learning to notice that is half of riding well.
Horsemanship
What happens on the ground — leading, grooming, listening — matters as much as what happens in the school.
Our horses
The ones who do the teaching.
Over thirty horses and ponies, each one schooled and known well enough to be matched to the right rider — the patient schoolmaster who has taught hundreds of first lessons, and the sharper one kept for confident riders.

The best way to judge a riding centre is to stand in it for ten minutes. Get in touch and arrange a time that suits you.
