Situated on the main A666 road between Manchester and Bolton, Ryders Farm Equestrian Centre was established in 1993 when the owner of the existing livery yard decided to start a riding school. We are always happy to see new faces (and old friends) and you are welcome to visit our yard. We know sometimes the urge to see, touch, talk to and yes, even smell a pony, is overwhelming so even if you're not riding feel free to visit us, feed the ducks, chat to others on the yard, have a coffee and enjoy yourself.

I’ve tried couple of horse riding schools around Greater Manchester are and this one is by far the best. Very well run, they have a great online system for booking classes as well as instructor notes from each class to make sure you’re constantly advancing. They also have a good quality horses suitable for all levels. Reasonably priced and really good quality in return.

Excellent Horseriding school... years ago I attended another locally well know riding school in which I was very disappointed, was to nervous to ride again after such a bad experience. Years later my daughter wants to start riding, I found Ryders farm, she had a taster session and fell in love with riding, she joined a group lesson and was loving every minute. I was getting my confidence back just watching and ended up joining in. 2 years later we are still loving every single lesson we have, group and private. All instructors and yard staff are very friendly and knowledgeable, a fantastic riders
