Equestrian Services in Hertfordshire

Hertfordshire is a green and well-connected county, popular with London commuters who want to keep a horse, with plenty of livery yards and riding schools close to towns such as St Albans, Hertford and Berkhamsted.

Where to ride in Hertfordshire
The Chiltern Hills in the west of the county have beech woods and chalk tracks, and the Ashridge Estate near Berkhamsted is a popular area for riding, though you should check the estate's rules before you ride. The countryside around Buntingford and Bishop's Stortford in the east is quieter, with farm rides and lanes through rolling arable land.
