Dickey Steps Riding school was established in 1979 by Frank and Kathleen Mills and their Daughter Stephanie with the purpose of providing recreational and educational facilities for people wanting to ride horses no matter what their experience or ability. Dickey Steps is set in the beautiful Lancashire countryside on the door step of Hollingworth Lake Country Park and is still a family run business.
Stephanie has been trained at Yorkshire Riding School by Jane Bartle, and also by Alex Lloyd at Snainton Riding School and Myerscough Agricultural College. We have horses and ponies to suite all capabilities ranging from beginners to the accomplished for riders from age 4 upwards. We also offer the facility for lessons to improve horse riding technique, Cross Country, British Horse Society examinations and stable management.

It was my daughters first time here today, not first time horse riding tho, but if was fantastic. Staff are great, and she absolutely loved the hack... they really built up her confidence and she did so well. Was nice to see her cantering on the field. Definitely recommend and reasonably priced. Can’t wait for next week :)

We had a wonderful time today with my family. The place and view is amazing. The horses are well cared for. We were honored to meet Stephanie and her lovely team they are very kind and friendly people.
It was my first time ever to ride a horse and I was very happy to be paired with Gypsy such an adorable creature. My instructors Jemima and Emily Bless their hearts were very kind and patient with me, I enjoyed every minute of the ride. We will definitely come back soon. I do recommend this place for a family activity. Thank you Cathleen for the coffee 👍🏻
