At Snowdon Farm Riding School, we're passionate about horses and riding! We do things a little differently as a result, which has led to an enviable reputation in our local area and beyond. We offer group and private riding lessons, stable management and groundwork lessons, and training for BHS stages.
We also hold pony days during school holidays. Although we are a small riding school, we have been fortunate to host demonstrations and lectures from a number of world-class experts, including Nicola Wilson (British Eventing silver medallist at the 2012 Olympics) and Sylvia Loch (respected author and founder of the Classical Riding Club).

At Snowdon Farm Riding School, we're not normal. We're a little strange even! If you want to sit on a sleepy horse and plod around the school, this probably isn't the place for you. You see, we're passionate about teaching you to ride, which means that we do things a little differently.
Complete beginners start in small group lessons where we teach the basic skills - your riding position; rein contact; steering with your body and seat; rising and sitting trot; canter; and jumping position.Most people then go onto one of our group lessons. Each lesson starts with a period of free-schooling, where people ride as an individual, making their own decisions about what to do and where to go while warming-up the horse.

Excellent teaching and high welfare standards make learning to ride here superior to anywhere else locally. Cath and her team have a wealth of experience and expertise and always teach with the horse as partner, meaning you are constantly learning and improving no matter how long you’ve been riding. Everyone is really friendly too.

I have learned more in the last year having lessons with Cath and Amy than I ever did in years of riding as a youngster. Not one lesson has been the same since I started riding at Snowdon, combined with riding different horses, all adds to experience and confidence. If you want to learn how to ride properly, this is the place to do it.
