Burley Villa School Of Riding

Burley Villa welcomes both riders and non-riders and offers Riding Lessons in the Indoor Arena or Menege. A great way to get 'hands on' with our ponies on this one hour pony experience. You'll learn how to brush off and groom your pony and how to put on his saddle and bridle before heading off to the arena for a beginner lesson or a ride round our fields and woods on a 'Pony Trail'.

Burley-Villa is a British Pony Club Centre. This means we offer all The Pony Club activities, badges, rallies, camps and riding tests which are usually available to children who own their own ponies. We start with an assessment lesson, unless you are a regular rider with us already. This is for 30 minutes and will cost 35.

Burley Villa has its own B&B, Bashley House, on the southern edge of the New Forest, offering a quiet base for relaxing breaks in the New Forest National Park. The Beech and Maple rooms are en-suite, with continental breakfast served in the room. Guest bedrooms are on the ground floor and have televisions and tea and coffee facilities as we do not offer a guest lounge.

Horses are mucked out, hayed and fed by us (Grass Nuts only, you supply any other feeds/ supplements). All Horses will have a daily turn out, hopefully most will be able to live out at night during Summer months and in during the day. Gold and Silver livery includes a shavings bed and up to 2 bales of shavings per week at our discretion.
