LOCKDOWN 2 - WE ARE ADVISED BY THE GOVERNMENT THAT RIDING SCHOOLS ARE TO CLOSE AS FROM THURSDAY 5TH NOVEMBER. THEREFORE WE WILL NOT BE ABLE TO OFFER RIDING LESSONS DURING THIS TIME. WE ARE NOT ACCEPTING VISITORS BUT WILL BE HAPPY TO ANSWER ENQUIRIES THROUGH OUR CONTACT FORM, BY EMAIL, FACEBOOK OR PHONE. THANK YOU.
Lockdown is particularly hard on riding schools. We cannot simply shut our doors, The horses and ponies need feeding and looking after every day so furloughing all staff is not an option. The horses and ponies thrive on routine and we are doing our best to keep them in the manner they deserve. We welcome any support at this time and have been truly touched by the kind sentiments conveyed on our Just Giving page.

We are now taking small groups and private lessons following Government guidelines. Initially this is for riders who are able to mount without assistance and adjust their own stirrups and girth. We are also able to hack in a small group. We are not able to lead beginners due to the 2m distance rule but we are allowing a parent to help their child on and lead the pony during the lesson. For parents leading their child's pony, please remember to wear suitable footwear, even if you are just helping them on. A brief induction on mounting and leading will be carried out at the time. At this present time we are not allowing visitors to the yard or other family members or friends to accompany riders to riding lessons. Stay safe, stay alert.

Welcome to Pevlings Farm
Established in 1985 our aim at this riding school has always been to provide a safe, friendly and informal stables where you can learn to ride and look after a horse/pony.
We cater for all ages and a variety of abilities. Beginners are welcome. We offer lessons in groups or individually on our carefully selected horses and ponies. Our instructors have a wealth of knowledge and experience to make your ride enjoyable. Whilst we cater mainly for children (and there is no minimum age) there are many opportunities for adults, however we are only able to accommodate lightweight riders and currently have a WEIGHT LIMIT OF 12 STONE (76KG).
Alongside our riding school we have 2 stable blocks for DIY liveries.
