Welcome to Our Website!

We are a riding school and livery yard; BHS and ABRS approved. We provide training for all ages and abilities.  

Jill and Keith have been running the riding school for an amazing 32 years, which has galloped past!

Our Aim
Our aim is to make sure you have fun and enjoy your riding and most importantly ensure that you are safe.

Your safety is our main priority but remember horses are unpredictable animals and you ride at your own risk.

Snow Won't Stop Us!

If it snows and the roads are too dangerous to drive on, you can ring us on the day to tell us you cannot make it you will NOT be charged.

The lessons will be going ahead if you are able to get here. Everyone will be in the indoor school so don't worry.

We will hold Own A Pony Days for any children who's schools are closed. Just ring Jill or Hayley!

A Tribute to a Very Special Pony- Doc

He arrived 19 years ago, and was believed to be around 26 when we bought him. Doc

Our earliest memories of Doc include his eye-popping expressions whenever he saw trot poles emerging, as if he’d never seen them before! Doc’s cheeky character and lovely temperament made him one of the most sought after ponies in the yard.

He soon became an old hand in the school and naughtily learnt to walk, trot and canter by voice command- even making newbies look good!

In later years he became a firm favourite for walk on the commons, before he settled into retired life just 18 months ago by becoming a field companion for his buddy Z.

Many knew that he had begun to lose his teeth and was mainly on mush, so he began to thrive on his celebrity status: accepting treats from bananas to homemade stewed apples, Doc was spoilt for choice!

Doc won the hearts of everyone during his time at SBRS, especially in his later years when he championed every ailment that life threw at him! It’s been an absolute privilege to own such a super pony. Doc, you will be sorely missed, thank you.

BHS Inspection

On Tuesday 8th May Mr Bob Weatherley came to conduct the annual BHS inspection of our riding school, bringing along the new chairman of The British Horse Society, Lynn Petersen. Lyn was very enthusiastic as she walked around, and seemed to love the yard.

The inspection results were an outstanding achievement, reflecting the hard work and dedication of our team.

We received 'Highly Commended' (the highest rating) in all of the following categories in which we were judged: Customer Care, Working Procedures, Teaching/Instructing/Coaching, Riding Out, Instructional Facilities, Arenas Indoor and Outdoor, Show Jumps, Stabling and Turnout, Tack Room and Feed Room.

The only category in which this was not applicable was Cross Country Course, since we do not have one!
