Established in 1993 in one of the most beautiful areas of Cheshire on the edge of Delamere Forest Willington Hall Riding Centre, home base for Sandra Hassett's "Knight" horses, is a 5 Star Approved Licensed Riding School with a difference. And yes. for more experienced riders we also provide escorted Hacks into nearby Delamere Forest.
This is probably the reason why people, old or young, novice or experienced who are serious about improving their ability to ride and extend their understanding of one of the most beautiful animals in all of God's creation come from all over the country and the world to learn here. My daughter tried several riding schools in Cheshire before we were recommended to Willington Hall Riding School by a friend.

Fabulous!
Sandra and her team are so welcoming. We came on a organised riding break initially and have since returned many times for extra lessons and extra riding breaks! Chris has always been our instructor and she really is amazing. We come as a mum and daughter x 2 duo and it amazes me how she teaches all 4 of us at the same time with such different abilities. We all agree we learn so much. We love our visits to Willington thank you for having us. (Wish it could be every week)

I have been riding at willing ton hall for 23 years and I have never had a less than perfect experience . From piper the wonder horse to Murphy the boy with the cheeky face , all the horses hacks and lessons have been wonderful . The staff are fantastically knowledgable and their care of the horses is second to none. I have loved every minute of my time there .

Just came back home from a wonderful third time ridingbreak! This time I took 4 private ridinglessons here. I was absolutley happy with the tution from both of the instructors, and the lovely horses that I rode! I couldnt have asked for more. I did get a lot of help to improve my riding, and I allready miss the beautiful horses that I rode! You cant get enough of this place, you just want to come here more and more times! Sandra has fabulous horses, and all of the staff are so nice and helpful! I wish that I would live a little closer, so I could come here to ride every week! The place is truly

Was treated to a 1.5 hour hack for a significant birthday gift. Was given a warm welcome at Willington, a professional and thorough assessment as to capability before going out. It was the first time in 30 years I have been on a horse. I was made to feel happy and confident and comfortable, despite my rusty riding skills. I could not praise this place enough. I had a fantastic experience, hacking along the sandstone trail and Delamere Forrest - stuff of dreams! I am still grinning from ear to ear 24 hours later. The horses are stunning, and have character and spirit - not follow my leader horses
