Equestrian Services in Shropshire

Shropshire is one of England's most rural counties, with quiet lanes, rolling farmland and the dramatic Shropshire Hills. Ludlow Racecourse in the south of the county is a popular jump racing venue.

Where to ride in Shropshire
The Shropshire Hills, a National Landscape, include the Long Mynd and the Stiperstones, both popular for hill riding. The Jack Mytton Way, a long-distance bridleway named after a famously eccentric local squire, runs across the south of the county. In the north, the meres and mosses around Ellesmere and Whitchurch offer gentler rides.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in Shropshire
Our Shropshire directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in towns such as Shrewsbury, Whitchurch, Oswestry, Bridgnorth and Ellesmere. 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.
