Mainstream Riding

Our great facilities, well schooled team of horses and qualified coaches make our centre a great place for anyone to develop their riding skills. Whether you are a beginner, improver or more advanced, our lessons will help you develop your equestrian skills.

Although we are a Riding for the Disabled Centre, we have great horses, coaches and facilities and share these with the local community by offering riding lessons for all.

We run sessions on both weekdays and weekends, daytime and evening. Sessions are 30, 45 or 60 minutes in length, and can be in groups or 1:1.

We welcome riders from the age of 6 upwards; there is no upper age limit!

We offer lessons for beginners, improvers or more established riders. Whether you want to improve your riding skills or enjoy the social side of riding in a group, we have the right lesson for you. We also offer the opportunity to do a mix of riding and ground based sessions to really enable you to learn more about working with horses. You are very welcome to make an appointment to visit the centre to see more of what we do.

As well as regular lessons, we also run occasional activities such as pony days, taster sessions, experience sessions, competitions and more.
