The Equestrian Centre

At Hargate Hill we have an exceptional range of horses and ponies - each trained for riders of all ages and abilities. Children are welcome to ride with us from the age of 4 and there is no upper age restriction! To speak to one of our friendly team about your tuition requirements Contact Us or view our Price List.

To build confidence and balance, younger children are offered an initial 30 minute walk out on the lead and rein. They'll then progress to private lessons where they'll learn to work the pony on their own in walk and trot. When they're ready (there's no time limit) they'll be offered the opportunity to join a group lesson.

Almost every famous horse rider, show jumper and eventer started riding with the Pony Club. Someday that could be you. Encourage young people to ride, have fun and enjoy a range of sports connected with horses and riding. Provide instruction in horse riding and horsemanship and show members how to properly care for their animals.

We strive to deliver a friendly environment with the highest standards of service for you and your horse. We offer a wide selection of livery services including DIY, part and full livery stabling. With over 100 stables, large areas of turn out land (all with post and rail fencing) and excellent facilities, we can accommodate all your horse and pony needs.

The high standard of animal care and the exemplary facilities we pride ourselves on has won recognition from Kirklees College - so much so that they've partnered with us to offer a range of horse and small animal care courses. This course is a stepping stone for those interested in a career in the animal care industry e.g. in kennels, animal welfare establishments, grooming parlours or as a veterinary nursing assistant.
