Equestrian Services in West Yorkshire

West Yorkshire is a busy county, but riders are never far from open moorland. The South Pennines rise above Halifax, Huddersfield and Keighley, and Wetherby Racecourse sits on the county's eastern edge.

Where to ride in West Yorkshire
The Pennine Bridleway runs through Calderdale, offering long-distance riding on old packhorse routes and moorland tracks. Ilkley Moor and the hills above Otley give big views over Wharfedale. Closer to Leeds and Bradford, many riding schools sit on the green edges of the cities, which makes lessons easy to reach.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in West Yorkshire
Our West Yorkshire directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in towns such as Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, Huddersfield and Keighley. 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.
