Want to improve your riding position? Why not book yourself a private lesson and use our new mirrors to improve your riding position. We are a long established riding school and livery yard situated in the heart of Bestwood Country Park. Our friendly team of experienced staff can offer tuition to all ages and abilities in group, private and semi-private lessons.

We have two all-weather floodlit schools that enable us to provide all year round tuition. As well as lessons, we also offer off-road hacking out, for all riders through the Bestwood Country Park and Woods.

Good instruction. U get about an hour. Never felt un safe at any point, as the instructor made us feel she had the horses under control. Gr8 experience, loads of fun and small enough group to benefit from instruction!

The best riding school. Staff are lovely, facilities are spot on and hacking out is perfect. I cannot praise Woodside enough.

They don’t seem to take their customer service seriously, it’s impossible to get through to their phone number. I’ve been trying every day for weeks and no one ever answers.

Friendly staff and very helpful. My daughter has been riding here for over 4 years & even did some work experience. The teaching is good, for all abilities, with the option to do some exams too.

My daughter just started her riding lessons today, the lady teaching her was absolutely fantastic. Even during covid-19 and the difficult circumstances, the staff were brilliant. We look forward to our next booking.
