Equestrian Services in Nottinghamshire

Nottinghamshire is the home of Sherwood Forest, and its mix of woodland, estate parkland and farmland makes it a good county for hacking. Southwell and Nottingham racecourses keep the county busy on the racing calendar.

Where to ride in Nottinghamshire
Sherwood Forest and the large estates of the Dukeries in the north of the county, around Worksop and Mansfield, have woodland tracks and bridleways. Some estate parks only allow riding with a permit, so check before you go. The Trent Valley around Newark offers flatter riding along lanes and farm tracks.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in Nottinghamshire
Our Nottinghamshire directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in towns such as Nottingham, Newark, Mansfield, Retford and Worksop. Most riding schools offer group and private lessons for beginners and experienced riders, and many run pony days and holiday clubs for children. Prices vary between centres, so it is worth contacting a few to compare. Look for British Horse Society (BHS) or Association of British Riding Schools (ABRS) approval as a sign of good standards.
