Willowbrook Riding Centre

Willowbrook Riding Centre is approved by the Association of British Riding Schools, ensuring your family has access to genuine expertise and a warm welcome. They offer lessons beginning at 2 and a half years for guided pony walk outs but catering for all ages even adult beginners, with mounts available to suit all heights and weights up to 16 stone. You can also take the family on 1 or 2 hour scenic hacks through the Sussex Downs, with several of the routes passing through the Kingley Vale nature reserve.

Riders are always escorted and hard riding hats are provided but you are expected to dress sensibly and wear either riding boots or heeled walking shoes or boots, no trainers or sandals permitted. There are also 3 hour long Pony Mornings that kids can sign up for where they get hands on learning for all aspects of pony care and the morning also includes a lesson or guided walk out. It's nice to note as well that these guys take their horses' health and comfort really seriously, with an individual never working more than 4 hours in 24, and having 2 full days off a week.
