Earnsdale Farm Riding School offers facilities for disabled riders and their parents or carers.

Car parking is specially provided adjacent to the indoor arena.

Staff are on-hand to assist riders and carers and ensure that the riding experience is a safe and pleasurable one. A mounting block is available to provide assistance for those who cannot mount their horse or pony unaided.

All our staff are highly trained and experienced in helping riders with various disabilities, and the staff to pupil ratio is specially increased for group sessions to ensure maximum safety and enjoyment. Disabled riders can gain a great deal of satisfaction and sense of achievement from horse riding as well as skills and experience that benefit the individual when not riding.

If you wish to know more about our services for the disabled please do not hesitate to contact us by phone on 01254-702647 or 774358 or email us by clicking on the CONTACT page.
