Brookhouse Farm is a family run Riding School situated in a semi rural area on the outskirts of Birmingham, with good road links including accessibility to the motorway network and a nearby train station (Whitlocks End). We opened the gates of Brookhouse Farm Riding School in 1985 as a new business where none had existed before.
We had approximately 45 acres of Green Belt grazing land which we used for our 3 ponies and the livery of other peoples horses/ponies. There were no buildings at this time, so when we opened the riding school we literally had our 3 ponies, on which we offered instruction, and a caravan which we purchased to use as a reception area, but we did a lot of local advertising and the business started to grow.

Riding horses is truly a sport open to all. Both sexes compete on equal terms and in the same events, disabled riders can outshine their able bodied friends and you are never too old!. As is the case with any new skill it is important to learn correctly from experienced staff, in a secure environment, and as safely as possible.
Lessons at Brookhouse Farm start from complete beginners right through to advanced levels. Riders can enjoy a wide range of structured activities during their lessons and there is something for everyone!. At Brookhouse, we offer private and group tuition. We teach all ages from 6 years upwards and we do take every care not to mix ages and abilities in our classes so lessons can run at the appropriate levels.
Brookhouse farm riding School offers escorted hacks/ rides out which are completely "off Road". If you would like to enjoy the freedom of riding outside the arena, we have a dedicated hacking track available. The rides include woodland and river walks, and for those happy to do so lovely up hill canters.

A lovely centre with brilliant facilities and excellent friendly staff. Horses are all well taken care of and instructors really push you to overcome your fears and achieve the best you can. Having ridden since I was a toddler 17 years ago, I'm an experienced rider, but had to take around 2 years off riding infrequently due to the stress of a levels and moving to university. After only 4 months of weekly private lessons with Anne, one of their great instructors, I'd completely got the confidence back that I had as a teenager and was ready to compete showjumping again. Lessons are also great value
