Our excellent facilities include:

• 25 horses and ponies - so we can find the horse that´s right for you
• Qualified instructors
• An indoor school - for lessons whatever the weather
• Outdoor 20m x40m sand and rubber menage
• 3 different lessons of hack to suit different abilities - if you have not ridden with us before you will be given a short assessment before being allowed out on a hack.

Activities

As well as lessons we also offer the following activities:

1 hour Walk and Trot

This gentle hack around the village of Bardwell is perfect for less experienced riders.

1 hour walk trot and canter

This hack is on village roads and bridleways, and riders must be capable of cantering in good balance in the school first, before taking part on this hack.

2 hour walk trot and canter

For this faster hacking, including long canters and gallops, riders must be capable of controlling fit horses in the company. If you do not have lessons with us here at B.M.E.C., then you must complete a 1-hour hack before attempting this 2-hour hack.

We also offer livery services and training for B.H.S. and A.B.R.S. exams, as well as Diploma in Work Based Horse Care and Riding qualifications.
