Equestrian Services in Wiltshire

Wiltshire is classic horse country, with chalk downland, ancient trackways and a long tradition of racehorse training around Marlborough and the downs.

Where to ride in Wiltshire
The Ridgeway National Trail starts near Avebury and runs across the Marlborough Downs, giving riders long, open rides on chalk tracks. Salisbury Plain has wide open spaces, though parts are used for military training, so riders should check access before setting out. The Vale of Pewsey and the countryside around Devizes, Chippenham and Westbury add quieter lanes and bridleways.

Riding schools, livery and lessons in Wiltshire
Our Wiltshire directory lists riding schools, livery yards, trainers and stables in towns such as Swindon, Salisbury, Marlborough, Chippenham and Westbury. 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.
