Whether you’re taking your first steps in the saddle or developing your riding skills, we’d love to welcome you to Stourport Riding Centre.
We offer lessons for adults and children aged four and upwards, with a wonderful selection of horses and ponies to suit a range of abilities. Choose from private, semi-private and group lessons with our qualified, experienced instructors.
Children’s Riding Lessons
Our children’s lessons combine learning, confidence building and plenty of fun. From their very first ride to learning to jump, we help children develop their skills, build an understanding of horses and enjoy a sense of achievement as they progress.
Children ride in groups matched to their riding ability rather than their age, helping them learn at a pace that suits them.
Group lessons: £39.00 per rider for 30 minutes of riding.
Lessons take place after school on Mondays, Tuesdays and Wednesdays, and on Saturdays.
Finding the Right Lesson
We assess each child’s riding ability before they join a group so we can find the most suitable starting point.
| Grade | Riding level |
|---|---|
| Grade 5 | Beginners |
| Grade 4 | Walk and trot |
| Grade 3 | Walk, trot and learning to canter |
| Grade 2 | Walk, trot, canter and learning to jump |
| Grade 1 | Walk, trot, canter and jumping |

Family Riding Lessons
Enjoy time in the saddle together with a private lesson exclusively for your family.
Our Junior Senior lessons allow adults and children to ride together and share the fun of learning. Whether it’s parents and children, siblings, aunties or cousins, it’s a lovely way to spend time together and make lasting memories.
Adult Riding Lessons
It’s never too late to start riding—or return to something you’ve always loved.
We welcome complete beginners, riders returning after a break and experienced riders looking to develop their skills. Our instructors will help you build confidence and work towards your riding goals.
We usually recommend starting with a private assessment lesson, giving us the opportunity to get to know you and your experience before recommending a suitable lesson or adult group.
For riders who would love to do more without owning a horse, we also offer opportunities to receive tuition and compete on our horses.
Our rider weight limit is 13 stone (approximately 83kg).
Visit our What’s On page to explore our adult riding courses, with options for beginners and more experienced riders.
