Carrie started riding as a young child, and horses have always been her passion. Carrie qualified as a BHS AI Instructor during 2004 and in 2013 became licensed to have her own riding school. The business has grown steadily and now Carrie not only has a core herd of ponies for lessons, but has also begun bringing in working liveries to help develop the horses available for lessons.
Anyone visiting Bristol Riding School (especially on a weekend) will no doubt see many familiar faces : Amanda, Becky, Lesley, Gemma, Vicky, Rosie, Dan. Says Carrie : We have a very strong, close-knit team at the yard and I am lucky to call these people my friends. They are all amazing and I would be nothing without them and their support with the many hours they put in.

Services
We provide private and group lessons for riders of all ages and abilities. See below for our prices. Riding lessons can be booked by calling the number at the top of the page, through our contact page, or by messaging us on Facebook. We also provide additional service such as working livery, schooling and tack.
If you need to cancel your lesson or hack for any reason, we ask that you give us at least 48 hours notice. Any riding sessions cancelled within the 48 hour period before your lesson will be charged for. Please note that Saddle Clubs, Pony Days and Camps will have their own cancellation policy. Check the events section of the website or contact us for more details.
Brand new sand and rubber arena with entry into a jumping paddock (which will include a number of cross country fences with a bank and ditch). The arena also has children friendly picture markers to help make navigating easier for our youngest clients. There is also plenty of good hacking right on our doorstep which includes bridle paths, roads, motorway bridges and we even offer rides with a 'pit stop' in one of our local pubs!
My daughters confidence and competence has improved significantly since coming to Carrie for lessons. Carrie is always full of enthusiasm and fun whilst keeping totally professional and safe approach. I cannot recommend enough. Carrie offers the best and most exciting lessons I have ever had! My confidence has built so much and I really couldn't have chosen a better community to ride in.

Our daughter had a horse riding party. Carrie and the team were amazing with the children. V friendly and welcoming. All the horses are well looked after and so good with the children. All the children had a permanent smile on their faces. We also had Carrie from Sundown cupcakes cater for us, again great service and lovely packed lunches and cupcakes. Thank you 😊

All of the other staff here at bristol riding school would make you feel like you've been here for ages. I would definitely recommend coming here!
