Runningwell Equestrian Centre
This decision has not been taken lightly, after 22 years it has been a hard decision to make, but is due to the devastating impact of the last year. We are still offering lessons to our liveries, and we have pony club running for the children that are loaning ponies. If anyone needs to contact us please email info@runningwell.co.uk as the office is not currently staffed full time.

Lessons are graded according to experience, and our qualified instructors aim to make lessons interesting and progressive whatever your level of riding. If you have had a break from riding and would like to rekindle your love for horses, then we have the perfect thing for you. You choose what you would like to do.
Services
Application of medication, fly repellent and any other special requirement will be catered for. Any extra use of horsewalker will be charged according to the length of time used, maximum is 5 + VAT per hour. Use of yard farrier if required, we will arrange this for you and invoice you for the cost on your next bill.

Fantastic horses.Great stables. Absolutely lovely people and amazing coaches/teachers.Would not change a single thing . Professional but still relaxed and they really want you to learn but want force you to do and anything you dont feel comfortable with but will still push you to be the best you can. Love them.

I used to work, for a period of six month I think it was. This during the year 1998/1999. If I remember it correctly Ruth took over the center and slightly changed the name. It was for the better, for both horses and staff. I gave vivid memories chasing one of the ponies by the name of Megan. A chestnut pony with the form af a barrel with short legs. She was always running away like a Houdini version of a horse.
And another one of the horses, Puzzle, black and white with a great moustasch and the longest bottom lip.
And Chester, the friendly chestnut.
I guess they have past over to the ever

I rode at there for over 9yrs before I had to give up due to illness., I had ridden at a number of schools and this was the best by far. I really like the small classes, well schooled horses and excellent instruction. The students being separated into different riding abilities is really good as are the horses being graded too. Thank you to everyone who made my riding really enjoyable. Stephanie Liddell.

From the moment my daughter started riding here we felt at home. Super staff, always there to help or answer questions. The lessons are fun for the children and the instructors. Can’t say enough. If you are looking for a riding school for your children this is the place to be.

Children's Riding Morning Experience - Booked this as a gift for two 9 year olds, they loved it, we loved seeing them become more confident and happy with their ponies and they learned quite a lot in a morning including the 'fun' bit of cleaning a pony.
Tips
Parents and Children - Wrap up warm if you go when cold as you sit in a big riding school on plastic chairs in a windy elevated platform in the Riding arena / School.
Wear boots / wellys
Wear old coats / clothes as the children get down and dirty clearning 'poo' out of the ponies tail and coat (water, shampoo and sponges are all helpfully

Runningwell is a very well run riding stable. The horses all seem happy, clean and well cared for, instruction is varied, challenging (in a good way) and professional, they have both indoor and outdoor schools and they do a good cup of tea and bacon buttie in the café too. I would not hesitate to recommend Runningwell to others.

I have been riding and evolved with Runningwell for many years now and i have found that the level of instruction and care of the horses is second to none. I have always found it to be a very professional and friendly yard and always willing to help in any situation.
