Bardwell Manor Equestrian Centre was established in 1996 and is run by husband and wife team Sharon and Karl Dawson. Both Karl and Sharon are fully qualified instructors and have taught many people to ride over the years. Bardwell Manor Equestrian Centre is situated just off the A143 outside of Ixworth, Suffolk. All our riders are encouraged to improve by taking the Association of British Riding Schools tests, which are offered in both riding and horsecare.

We had a lovely week here staying in the camping field in our caravan with electric hook up. It is a small camping field and the facilities are basic but it is friendly and tranquil, surrounded by horses and geese. We booked riding lessons for our children and the tuition was excellent and they gained a lot in the week
