Equestrian Services in South Yorkshire

South Yorkshire is home to Doncaster Racecourse, where the St Leger, the oldest of the British Classics, is run each September. Away from the towns, the county has plenty of countryside for riders.

Where to ride in South Yorkshire
The west of the county rises into the edge of the Peak District above Sheffield, with moorland tracks and big views. The Trans Pennine Trail crosses the county, and parts of it are open to horse riders. Around Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham, riding schools and livery yards make use of farm rides and quiet lanes.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in South Yorkshire
Our South Yorkshire directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in towns such as Sheffield, Doncaster, Barnsley and Rotherham. 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.
