Berkshire Riding Centre LTD

Meet us here.

Reception / training Centre

You can book here for lessons, pay your bill or just wait inside and watch your child , or whoever, having their lesson in comfort. For tea and coffee help yourself, we operate an honour bar system just leave 30p in the tin. Alternatively cold drinks are available from the vending machine located just outside the office.

 From time to time courses will also be run from here, in which case the room may be closed.

Stables in barn - upgrade:

The refurbishment of the stables in the barn was completed mid 2008 and look great - come and see for yourself. We now have six stables, a tack room, wash area and storage area, all on a drained solid base.

Horse Loan:  Would you like to (almost) own a horse, but not actually have to buy one! From time to time we are able to arrange a loan on one of our school horses. Note : this is only available to those who regularly take lessons with us.

For less than half the full-livery rate (£250) one of our horses would be allocated to you, whilst we would still use the horse for lessons, you would be guaranteed 12 hours riding a month - including a weekly lesson. As a livery client you would be entitled to our discounted lesson rate.

Contact Rosie if you are interested. Look upon this as a minimum three month commitment. Payment is monthly in advance by standing order.

Radio Berkshire were at the Centre recently making a live broadcast on riding.

Indoor School Watering System:

You might be wondering what the two large tanks are at the car park side of the indoor school?

They collect rain water from the roof of the indoor school. This is fed into a third holding tank and feeds automatic sprinklers which are hidden in the wooden surrounds of the indoor school.

A series of ten sprinklers automatically go on at 12:30am to keep the surface just right. Also environmentally friendly!
