The Yard Equestrian Club

Hi folks, lots of enquiries recently eager to get back to riding! Aiming for within 4 weeks to be back to lessons. As soon as we are ready to get a timetable organised I’ll put up a few posts here so keep the 👀👀 peeled!

We have been closed down for a year now and despite the restrictions easing April 1st there is still sadly no coaching allowed. Updates as soon as we are back on track.
