Cottage Riding Stables

Cottage Riding Stables runs horse riding lessons from a site shared with Cottage Kennels and Cattery in Hambrook, on the eastern edge of Bristol. Riders can choose between private sessions and group lessons, with instruction delivered by BHS-qualified instructors. The school teaches both adults and children, with lessons available for riders from four years old upwards.

Group lessons and private lessons both form part of the regular programme, giving beginners and more experienced riders options to suit their goals. Private sessions are typically used by riders who want one-to-one attention, while group lessons allow participants to learn alongside others at a similar level. The school's acceptance of younger riders from four years of age makes it a starting point for families introducing children to horses for the first time.

The stables are located in the village of Hambrook within South Gloucestershire, an area easily reached from central Bristol and the surrounding South West region. Operating as part of a multi-discipline animal site alongside the kennels and cattery, the riding school benefits from a rural setting while remaining close to the city. The facilities are licensed by South Gloucestershire Council, providing a regulated environment for tuition.

Lessons run Monday to Saturday, with sessions available from 9.30 am to 11 am and again from 4 pm to 5.30 pm. The school is closed on Sundays.
