Available to book just as a cottage for a peaceful break in the beautiful Devon countryside, or we can offer riding holidays tailored to your requirements. Budleigh Salterton Riding School provides lessons, hacks, treks, equestrian holidays, riding courses and pony days. We are situated on the edge of Woodbury Common in a peaceful country setting, within easy reach of Budleigh Salterton, Exmouth and Exeter.

This provides the ideal location for country rides over heathland with spectacular views of the Jurassic coastline. The riding school also has two large all-weather menages with jumping facilities for riding lessons. We have a beautiful Oak Lodge Cafe and conference centre which can also be hired out for functions.

Budleigh Salterton Riding School has been my sanctuary for many years. Love the horses, people, various riding experiences on offer throughout the year and have made many friends. Highly recommended.

Well organised riding school set up, perfect for locals or holiday makers, plus a little cafe on site that makes a nice coffee.
We visited as part of a birthday gift for my 8 year old daughter and she really enjoyed it.

A huge Thank You to Chrissy for organising a fun, memorable holiday experience, that our family all enjoyed, despite our quite varied range of riding experience. Nikki our instructor was fantastic; supportive, friendly and really helped us rebuild our confidence after we've had quite some time out of the saddle! Would highly recommend to anyone, either for regular lessons, or a party/family experience, like we had.

Really lovely. Took my 4 and 6 year old just to experience a bit of riding and we were accommodated very well. My 4 year old isn't the most attentive but he did a bit of riding, feeding and grooming. Really super for all.

BSRS is my happy place, I don’t know what I would do without it. The horses are lovely and it is a great place to learn new skills from grooming and stable management, to riding.

Wonderful, wonderful place. We held out daughters 5th birthday party here and the staff couldn't have been more helpful, kind and friendly. All of the girls loved their experience and the parents enjoyed coffee and hot chocolate by the fire in the beautiful cafe, where the party food was also excellent.
Stunning location and can't thank them enough for making a little girls birthday so magical and full of happy memories. :-)

Wonderful place - highly recommended! Having not ridden for 10 years, I was so nervous about riding again, but all that disappeared quickly as Rob makes you feel extremely welcome and relaxed from the get-go & Emily who took us out on a hack was so lovely. Thank you Budleigh Salterton, I’ll definitely be back!

Great experience. Lovely well behaved horses. Very professional and well kept yard. Beautiful off road hacking in the countryside. Our mixed ability group were all catered for and had a lovely time in small groups following an assessment in the arena. Cream teas in the lovely lodge café kept those on the 1hr ride occupied until the 2 hr ride was finished. Highly recommend.
