Black Cat Equestrian Centre

Black Cat Equestrian Centre operates as a family-run riding school and Pony Club set across a 22-acre site on the Lincolnshire coast between Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea. The centre holds BHS approved riding school status and also functions as a Pony Club Centre, providing structured tuition alongside informal recreational riding. Lessons are available for riders of all ages and abilities, with dedicated provision for beginners, children and disabled riders. Both private and group lessons are offered, with group sessions starting from GBP 21 for a half hour.

Tuition covers a broad range of disciplines, including dressage, show jumping, stable management and hacking. Riders can develop their skills in the dressage arena, work over poles and jumps in a one-acre jumping field, or take advantage of ten acres of off-road riding directly from the site. Country hacks and beach hacks are available for those wanting to experience the surrounding Lincolnshire countryside and coast. Driving tuition is also provided for learners interested in carriage driving.

The facilities support year-round riding regardless of weather. Two outdoor schools and a large indoor school allow lessons and training to continue through the British winter, while on-site classrooms are used for Pony Club sessions and stable management theory. A picnic area offers a relaxed space for families and group visits, and a fishing lake provides an additional activity for those accompanying riders. Birthday parties can be arranged, making the centre a popular choice for younger children taking their first steps with horses.

Additional services include activity sessions, the sale of horses from the centre's own stud, and a range of stabling options for liveries. The postcode LN12 2RU places the centre within easy reach of the coastal towns of Mablethorpe and Sutton-on-Sea, with road links from the A52 and surrounding Lincolnshire villages. Riders and parents are encouraged to contact the centre directly to discuss lesson availability, Pony Club membership and upcoming events. Its combination of BHS approval, Pony Club affiliation and accessible facilities makes Black Cat Equestrian Centre a practical choice for anyone looking to ride, learn or compete on the east coast.
