About the club<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Riding for every age
and every ability<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Founded by a family of riders in 1987, and still run by one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Horse Club began with six ponies and a borrowed field. Today it is an approved riding school and livery yard on three hundred acres, with an indoor school, a cross-country course and a clubhouse where parents can watch lessons over a coffee. What has not changed is the order of things: the horses come first, the riders a close second, and everyone goes home knowing a little more than when they arrived.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

My daughter was nervous of horses a year ago. Now she tacks up her favourite pony on her own and talks about nothing else on the drive home.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I came back to riding at forty-six after twenty years off. Nobody made me feel slow, and my instructor knew exactly when to push.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Clean stables, sensible turnout and a team that rings you before the vet does. I have kept horses at five yards, and this is the one I stayed at.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The jumping clinics are the best value in the county: small groups, proper grids, and real time on the course.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Four days outdoors, a rosette and more confidence than a year of after-school clubs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
